Well, now he is waiting for me :o)
I'll do the homework and the faq should be up maybe today :o)

Great, I'll look at it.

Well, we should rely on the fact there's always a tag definition in an
xml files. In other words there should be a *safe mode* and an *unsafe
mode*. Safe mode is activated if the template specifies a xml tag
definition files, otherwise the unsafe mode is used and xdoclet does not
complain if user typed say @jbossssss:relaion which in case of safe mode
should because there's no jbossss: tag. The XDocletTagSupport utility
methods such as getClassTagValue/etc should also remain intact and we'll
add a set of new methods (a getClassTagValue which uses TagBeans and
consults xml files). Aslak, many many ppl now use xdoclet and created a
mountain of template/taghandlers!

I hope someone will volunteer to do it :o)
