Right right...
I checked also implementations on Python and I couldnt find...
As you said doing a much simpler tool that just read and produce this
xml is much simpler... I managed to configure the PHP stuff you gave
me in Tervuren, but did not have time to work on changing it for
DHTML. I will then use very simple python to generate the XML and
write in the file...
