Hi there.

Agreed. Well, you want XML? In what color? Oh, never mind. ;)

Ok, can we just say, that some of the data is integer or float (maybe
by defining an "integer" or "float" entity or some "type" attribute
the parser can cope? I like the idea of letting libxml validate the
stuff on the fly without coding overhead, and our (or better: my)  
parser has the conversion routines handy. :-)

So you would agree with my idea of a "callback hash" that links every
behaviour-defining routine in a consistent manner? This hash could
hold just about everything a C++ object can contain. The API
definition is then just a matter of thought and planning. (and it
could be changed at will without breaking too much things)...

Why, thanks, Lennon. I feared nobody would share my thoughts; since I
desperately want to create this extension by the end of august and I
will need all help I can get.
