Thanx!

IMO, the #1 problem is that there are at least three potential consumers of a "schema":
- Validators
- Code generators
- System documentation

I don't think a static declarative system would be very useful.   OTOH, scripting
would work particularly well for documentation so I will personally stick to
the programmatic approach.

I'm mainly concerned about the external part (documentation).  Here is an example:
