We have often wanted to do this.  We have split our context files into
domain specific contexts.  Each domain is specific (DAO, web,
security, etc).  If each had their own format (internal to our needs)
it would make reading these files much easier.  Merely transforming
them into Spring's bean DTD at runtime makes sense sometimes.
