Yeah, I like that idea too! ObTS combined with some "extendable" XML
where extentions can provide new content objects and the full semantical
description of the options would be really cool. We could even generate
those Open-Office tables from TSRef directly from these XML files,
Wizards, etc!

Wow, I'm loving it!
