Hi Christopher,

it is Dan's proposal to store TS as XML.

My idea is to store it as the serialized object tree, that can - after 
deserialization - directly output the content.

For validation I like your proposal the best, to traverse the genrated 
array, as long as self validating objects aren't available.

So the remaing use of XML would be, to configure the TS-Object-tree with 
XML-IDE for those who don't like plain text.


My vision:

          Database
               ^
               | (de)serialization
               v
TS 1 <-> TS-Objects  <-> TS 2, XML, YAML,  ....
               |
               | print
               v
      Output (html, xml, ...)


TS 1 gets its own place here, to mark it as default at the beginning of 
a longer transitional period.

There is the question how the Objects produce all such languages? They 
don't themselfs. I am thinking of an abstract interface here, a service 
in terms of TYPO3. Plugins would do the rendering to the languages.

Elmar
