yes, the bit where I explained how the generated code is still 
inordinately brittle and of limited value or quality.

Have a look in smartfrog CVS at the CDL implementation 
(core/extras/cdl/). I'm using Xom and have my own classes to represent 
the various xml elements we get. But they are the elements the Xom code 
returns when it parses the document...the parser generates what looks 
like a normal Xom tree, but it has our custom classes in, classes that 
contain the CDL-specific logic. And they are also xpath addressible, so 
  document.getPath("/cdl:configuration/tns:component/") works to resolve 
things and return something I can cast to my PropertyList and work with.
