Can you please explain the XML structures format? I would definitely
prefer to keep it as XML as possible.
I've been looking at the thread where you explain the regex parsable
bits and I think I'm beginning to understand what it does (I'm still a
little fuzzy).
Basically, the problem you are trying to solve is how to map the
describable bits to the things they describe? This is a little bit
complicated because there are two levels of indirection (the objects are
described by object descriptions which are made up of the stuff describe
in the XML).

A rebase or a merge would be fine.
That would be good (helps keeps the difference to a minimum).
