We could do this by registering a custom Rule with the digester but I would
rather allow the document to be validated against the DTD.

I was planning on extending the DTD to handle the symbols. My first thought
was to create a symbols node like the attributes node under the component and
element nodes. This collection would inherit from an extended parents symbols.
<component ....>
<symbols>
<set name="mySymbol" value="bar"/>
<set name="anotherSymbol" value="myBean"/>
</symbols>
</component>
Another design that might be more inline with the html counter-part would be to
create a "set-symbol" node similar to the struts set-property node.
<component ....>
<set-symbol name="mySymbol" value="bar"/>
<set-symbol name="anotherSymbol" value="myBean"/>
</component>
What do you think? Which would be the best to maintain?
