As Dan expressed too, that's not a blocker, we can find ways to increase the APIs or the expressiveness of the XML descriptions used. But it's not urgent, the basic operations can be implemented without this. > Ok. It sounds fine.

In a sense there is no real hurry, I would like to make the 0.5.0 release probably end of next week, and we have much to review and check before that, if your patches could arrive shortly after the 0.5.0 release that would be a nice time to integrate them. Of course earlier patch are not a problem but we will probably have less time to review them considering the things started but not finished for 0.5.0 :-) thanks !
