Have you contacted Murray about the XNode implementation? It was put
into
the scratchpad, and looked promising but we hit some odd licensing issues
that were never resolved. (Or at least thats the last I remember of it.)
If the code in the scratchpad has the wrong license, that's my
fault. All of the XNode API code *should* have an Apache license.
The API was designed for release to Apache, and I know that nobody
at Sun would care to alter that idea.
If you need a copy that does I'd be happy to send it on to whoever
is willing to update the scratchpad (I'm behind a firewall that
won't let my cvs work remotely).
Sorry, I've been buried under in a lit review lately and am only
resurfacing today... There's no reason XNode couldn't include
hierarchical metadata in its <xnode:Header> element. We'd just
need to add a method to obtain it (I can't remember right now
where I left that issue).
