oh neat. I hadn't had a chance to really look over that template stuff  
yet. The guys that wrote this spent a few years on this schema (IETF  
RFC 5070). We're looking to expand on it in the cyber-crime space over  
the next few years, which is why we moved towards ::Compile (figured  
it might make life easier than re-implementing these with XML::DOM  
down the road). Between this and generateDS.py, we found a good combo  
of tools to help us generate code around these standards.

noted. I had messed around a little with the key_rewrite stuff (esp  
with the NIEM stuff I asked about before), but that makes sense (i  
usually quote most hash stuff, only because it can be a PITA). So  
didn't think too much about it here just yet.

yup. just wanted to get it to 'compile' first =)
