I'd be interested to see this. The reason I got Torque to generate the 'properties of interest' stuff (in the getElementDescriptor() method) is that I couldn't see a way for an external class to get the mapping between field name/XML element name and java method name once the Torque objects were built. I've run up against that problem a few times in other circumstances too..
