There used to be a DTD around somewhere that was auto created from
gnue-common.  I know becuase I used it in XML mode for emacs to help make
writing these gsd's more simple.

I originally documented the first implementation completely in an Open
Office document that was in CVS.  CVS has moved too much and I don't have
my development machine close at hand, but someone just needs to update
this document.  I know when Jan had done some initial changes he was
updating that document to correspond.  I will try to look for it when I
get home.  It listed all the data types and try to correspond them to at
least postgres (iirc).
