Ah.... i'm understanding now. you don't just want a lot of good micro-examples of each feature, you want an easy way to generate "default" configs that work for an arbitrary set of features specified by the user. That seems like a hard problem to get right in a generic way. The simplest method i can think of for achiving that would be to start with a kitchen-sink type example that includes *everything* (because then it's easy to test that all of the pieces work well together and don't collide -- duplicate fieldnames or hanler names etc...) and then use xml comments or some other templating to be able to split that kitchen sink file up into snippets -- which could then be combined again in lots of combinations. (Or ... I suppose the snippets could be maintained by hand and then the build system could generate the kitchen sink and run tests to ensure that none of them collide ... but maintaining the kitchen-sink by hand seems easier in a weird way) -Hoss
