Since DAML+OIL seems to be the de facto standard already this would be
useful for sure.

Thanks for your cooperation. :-)

Indeed this seems to be a concise and understandable reference. I
think it would be good to post it to this list and then discuss the
necessary changes. I'll give it a start.

You did. :-)

I think I will have quite a number of comments and suggestions on that, but 
it'll definitely take some time for me to think about them and write that 
down...

I'm tied by my job until December, 6th. After that and perhaps before
some vacation there will be more room for operations like this than at
the moment.

When would you like to use such an extension to `oil2xsd'?

###################

Well, as soon as it is available, but definitely not until December, the 6th. 
:-)

Until at least the end of November I am also tied up by another project.

Best regards,
Iryna

ps BTW: Quite a number of useful tools for DAML have already been developed. 
You may want to have a look at http://www.daml.org/tools/ for a repository of 
those. Among them an XML schema to DAML translator 
(http://www.davincinetbook.com:8080/daml/xmltodaml/xmltodaml.html).
