I don't think that's where he was going. I think it was some version of
"I've got something parsed out using ASIS - now I want to take the
information I've derived and make it into an XML formatted text file..." It
was not necessarily a package spec/body and the problem may not be at all
amenable to DTD or databases. Do you know of some Ada code that will allow
you to create data in some form in memory and then say "Go put this out as
an XML file..."? It ought to be doable from a DOM implementation, but that
isn't one of the DOM requirements (maybe at level 3?) and I don't know of an
implementation *in Ada* that extends the DOM specification to provide that.
