Hi,

i want to extend zypper's --xmlout somewhat. For example the output of 
product-info and products commands will need some <product .../> tag 
with product's attributes.

The code producing this from a zypp::Product object could be probably 
better placed in libzypp than zypper. In fact i already put 
ServiceInfo's and RepoInfo's XML representation into libzypp 
(dumpAsXMLOn(ostream)).

I just wanted to ask whether you would like this approach, where/how to 
document it.

Currently there is only http://en.opensuse.org/Standards/Zypper_Xml 
which references 
http://svn.opensuse.org/svn/zypp/trunk/zypper/src/output/xmlout.rnc , 
but as soon as we start putting some of the XML methods to libzypp, this 
will not be sufficient (even some of the existing stuff can be moved 
from zypper to libzypp).

I suggest to put the .rnc files to libzypp, like we do for parsers (some 
of them can even be reused). Wiki docs can reference those .rnc files 
then, as well as other (higher-level) .rnc can include them.

cheers,
jano
