That may be true regarding exposed C API, but the DTD has changed a lot
(ok, well, there *wasn't* one before :-)

So there should be some docs regarding the DTD I think, since some 
users may wish to generate or modify the XML by hand.

(I think they have to at the moment ;-)

Also there is a conversion script from the old glade XML format to the
new one,
it's not trivial to run/build the conversion since it depends on python2
and python-expat modules.  I think docs could be very helpful here.
