Hello, John, maybe this link will be useful for you http://sites.google.com/a/qxtransformer.org/qxtransformer/XML-Tags. We don't want to reinvent the wheel, we just use existing qooxdoo classes and properties names. QxTransformer tags are mapped to qooxdoo widgets and all properties of these widgets are available as attributes of tag. Use qooxdoo APIViewer to get more information about available classes and properties.
But I also would like to say that we are working on good documentation for user and developers. Stay tuned. Good start John! Keep up your work.
