That's *exactly* how I was thinking it should work. Thanks for putting
it so concisely.

Probably best to 'just do it' wrt to the teams database. One cool thing
about XML is that you can throw the data together (to a certain extent)
first, and the DTD will slowly reveal itself and evolve over time. How
about starting with something like this and letting others on the list
rip it to bits ;) When there's something useful, check an initial copy
into CVS somewhere, announce it here and let people add/update their own
team sections.
