I'm interested in hearing what experiences anyone has had defining Mercator type trees for XML syntax. I've got a proof-of-concept requirement to complete and I'd like to take advantage of what has already been done. Has anyone defined (or attempted to define) an XML structure for a Mercator type tree?
