Hi Roberto,

I haven't gotten it to work yet but a thought occured to me reading
about LinkEHR  http://www.linkehr.com/ 

Doesn't Eclipse have some Python source generating capability? I'm not a
big fan of using the XML representations but .... I wonder if this
approach could be useful; at least in the interim?
