David,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.  This looks similar in spirit 
to something we call "virtual XML" at IBM.

At minimum we need to reference this work from our specs. the SDF markup 
isn't particularly sophisticated in the current version from what I can 
see in the doc, but obviously it is suitable for the kinds of data it is 
targeted at. 

Specifically  I want to look at the treatment of arrays. We've had a bunch 
of discussion in the DFDL WG about arrays and ultimately we punted on them 
(other than just 1 dimensional vectors).

I have been lurking on this list for some time but I realise that there is 
a related piece of work, namely DRB - see http://www.gael.fr/drb/site/ - 
which I should bring to your attention.
 
It has been developed by the company Gael and is used by the European 
Space Agency (ESA), but I believe it will shortly be, or may already be, 
open source.
