Well, given they (i.e., NeXT — far as I know, the document's as old as that) 
bothered to write the “WebObjects File Format Reference” at all, I presume they 
presumed one might need to create/edit those files manually. Which position I 
happened to find myself, for the old EOModeler is sorta at the dead side, and 
alas, since I have found Eclipse very seriously lacking when compared with 
Xcode, I had to write one of my own (https://github.com/jvanek/EOModeler-OSX 
<https://github.com/jvanek/EOModeler-OSX>).

Ha! Thanks a lot: the possibility to test how any particular qualifier might 
look like is the second best thing after a perfect documentation :D

All the best,
