Description Paul Fullbright CLA 2006-09-12 10:32:08 EDT 
I have a tricky model to use for XML mapping, and I need to write a custom Translator.  However, it's not obvious what *needs* to be done to write a successful Translator.  All existing Translators simply subclass Translator and overwrite a few methods.  It's not clear what parts of the root class are being used internally (within hierarchy) and what parts are used by the model<->document updating process.  Having an interface for this class (along with the existing default implementation) would help me in my horrible object->XML travails.
