About the Source vs Generator issue: I found a post by Sylvain [1]. It does not separate the Source and Generator concepts completely but the bottom line seems to be - If you have a format with some "natural" xml respresentation, it's a source (Like Excel->MS's Excel-XML?) - If you have a binary format which needs to be parsed to XML, it's a generator (Like XLS -> Gnumeric?)
