More fun HiveMind stuff

Getting HiveMind to work with Vista (the WebCT product) is going well. I immediately found that I needed <schema> to support an id and ref-id attribute, to make it easy to re-use a schema within a module. Vista has Startup, PostStartup and Shutdown extension-points with long, but identical, schemas.

I think the code and general appraoch is stabilizing. Things to do:

• Validations of extension contributions. Be nice to have equivalents to W3C Schema minOccurs, maxOccurs, <sequence> and <choice>
• More XML rules and translators
• More base services

Still, that's pretty cool. HiveMind is turning into a powerful bit of code ... right according to plan.
