Scott's summary was good.  And the current working idea, which I'll
implement this week, is to add a new method on the XMLObject interface
which exposes a collection that is essentially a class-indexed
multi-map.  It will likely at least initially be identical or similar to
this ClassToInstanceMultiMap in the metadata aggregator project:
