Thinking a bit more about the XML problem I started googling.
There are a number of packages that take an XML file or a schema file
and generate C++ code for reading and writing that schema. This would 
reduce the problem to generating the schema, and making code that 
actually uses the generated code. The nitty gritties will henceforth be 
done by an external program but a serious amount of work remains.
Is this something worth considering?
License issues as well as library dependencies may ensue.

Cheers,
