Hi Keith ---

Is this information going to be able to be read from the schema file? If the
answer is no then I will work on a patch that lets the information to be in
the schema file. The reason is that I would like to have all the information
in the schema file so that the data definition is self contained. If I
decide to move to a different source generator this would enable a
conversion to that new source generator's appinfo format using XSLT. If I
have a series of .properties files I get no such flexiblity. 

If I came up with such a patch would it be rejected out of hand?
