defaults, etc.

Exactly, which is why I intend to leave the default as is. 
PicoContainer's approach seems to ignore the value of 
defaults (although they have just added support for multiple 
constructors, which may permit them).

A tool would be great. I suffer from occasional typo trouble 
too. Apparently IDEA users don't when they refactor because 
it's smart enough to offer to update XML in the project as 
well.

I would love to see tool support for Spring. Such as 
- Eclipse plugin
- Swing GUI editor
- XSLT that can generate nice documentation from an XML bean 
definition file
- any other good suggestions?

This should be a priority after 1.0, even if we lack 
bandwidth before then.
