Schema For Output...?

[Robert Burrell Donkin <ro...@blueyonder.co.uk>]

RAT generate XML under the hood and then creates it's plain text reports
from it using XSLT. providing that we fixed a schema then improved
reports (eg html) could easily be generated. 

any volunteers who fancy taking a look at this?

It's unlikely that I will find the time, but if it were me, I'd
implement this as follows:

- Specify a schema for the output.
- Use JaxMe to create beans from the schema.
- Generate the output by creating beans and firing them to a SAX ContentHandler.
  Of course, the default SAX ContentHandler would be a TrAX TransformerHandler.
