[TYPO3-dev] How to get default XML data from known DS?

[Kay Strobach]

Hi JoH,

shouldn't tcemain do exactly that?

PS:
  i tried to contact you recently over startnext, and otherways, but
  got no answer :(

  I'm working on ext:themes and tried to decide, wether gridelements or
  fedext should be used primary, keeping compatibility to both

Thanks
Kay
