Have to read code or find in docs how to access xml attributes and  
elements as hash based not method/object.
Probably needs more documentation and support for asynchronous requests.

yes - though development has been allied to the DAS Registry over the  
last 3 years and mostly validation so not all that useful for "normal  
clients". Jonathan Warren
Hence reason for discussion about Dasobert on day 3 of this years  
workshop- do we want to go with JAXB generated classes? What do we do  
with Dasobert now?

http://www.derkholm.net/svn/repos/dasobert/trunk/ has some 1.6 support  
and has moved to using Lists rather than arrays[ ] for old version  
with arrays use oldTrunk under branches.
