I'm still thinking of just making a reference to the fusedoc file in template as a comment, ie "C:\website\cardealer\fusedoc\search\qry_findcar.xml". This would keep the template file size drop, decrease the parsing time and just make the whole thing run faster. I know when you are developing most people don't like to have to go and open a new file. That it is better to find it all there. But once the site goes live you should have a hundred lines of fusedocs to parse through. At that point it would be better to keep it in a totally separated file.
Just my 2 cents. Take it or leave it.
