Body:
The list would typically contain a single object.
What I found on my current project was that I was parsing a bunch of secondary
XML files. These are kept seperate from the HiveMind module descriptors for
historical reasons, and because they change frequently.
However, I'd like to use <schema> (<element>, <attribute>, <rules>, etc.) to
parse them, rather than an ad-hoc parser.
I could envision an ExternalParser service, into which I pass a Schema instance
and a Resource instance, and it passes me back a List of what was parsed.
Also, say I had a structure like:
<filelist>
<file> ... </file>
<file> ... </file>
</filelist>
If my root object is just a container, I might just want to objects for the
<files>, as a list.

Description:
It would be nice to be able to use a Schema, defined within HiveMind, to parse
an external file (a Resource) using either a validating or non-validating XML
parser.
This implies a number of changes; it will be necessary to have a lookup
mechanism for Schemas (that honors their visibility). A "schema:" object
provider, as well. A service (in the library) that can be "fed" a schema and a
Resource, and provide back a List of objects.
