Good! Thanks ;)
It is all working and ready to commit .... however, I am rusty .....
I am currently stuck trying to work out how to add to cvs :<
If you are desperate, I can email it to you off-list.

Currently there is a load of code in FileWritingTransformer that is File
specific, I check for a 'file:' prefix on resolved sources.
I think we would want Sylvain's WriteableSource would'nt we?
As I understand it we would need stuff like:
WriteableXMLDBSourceImpl, WriteableFileSourceImpl etc.
Or use/extend Vadim's XMLDBTransformer?

No I don't, I'll add that to my list, thanks.
Two other issues ....
I need to make sure the Transformer does not emit more than one 'copy' of
each namespace prefix, currently multiple sources (FileGenerator &
XInclude) with multiple copies of the same namespace, cause multiple
identical xmlns attributes in the Serialized file, causing subsequent
Parser errors when it is read.
A namespace declaration for xfwt is always output to the files it writes to.
It was already in the Document that the file is generated from so it
happens automatically.
I am trying to decide if this is a good thing or not.
In one way it is quite cute ;) a kind of signature, but in another sense it
is pollution, if there are no xfwt tags in the file, why the hell should it
declare that namespace?
If I filter it out however, then no-one can edit files containing that
namespace anymore.
Which is the right way to go do you think?
Thanks
regards Jeremy
