Goal: To provide object serialization/deserialization mechanism for python
(similar to what is provided in java) using XML, a DTD, and a generic XML
API and parser.  Ultimate use will be inside the Zope environment.  See
http://iceberg.sourceforge.net/ for similar concept using java.

Background: I have found several leads, pieces of code, etc.  In fact, it
seems too many people have taken a stab at this without realizing the
generic functionality that would solve so many problems.  There are
importers without exporters, importers to screen widgets, importers that do
there own parsing, etc.

Question: Has anyone embraced this problem to develop an architecturally
sound solution to object serialization via XML using XML-RD, XML-Schemas, or
other refinements of the DTD specification?
