Sure, it has no business in 1.2. It's for the upcoming new architecture.

Thanks :-) It's only a start, but I should be able to come up with
something quite complete in a week or 2. This combination of JavaCC,
DTDs, Velocity and Java beans is really powerful. It shouldn't be too
hard to support XML schema either, just use an XML parser in stead of
JavaCC.
I think this will contribute to a more stable xdoclet!
