Thanks, but doing that for VehicleML might be more complicated.
I could do an editor myself, but it is not clear if that saves 
time on the long run ... so many exceptions to cover.

At work, we've done a collection of 12,000 math exercises with 
metadata in XML, plus a custom search program and DOCX and PDF
rendering. The first use was an offline DVD, now we're going 
online, too. You can see an ad (in German) in 
http://www.cornelsen.de/sbk/1.c.1613377.de?hasjs=1234947200&submittedByForm=1&gsid=1.c.1153490.de&id=1613648

Our diverse input data taught me an appreciation of the chinese 
hordes technique: It doesn't pay to write a program for every 
wrinkle, sometimes it is more efficient to hire data entry 
clerks.
