[oil2xsd] DAML+OIL support

[Iryna Gurevych]

Hi Stefan,

we would like to propose a further enhancement to the oil2xsd suite, so it will 
also support the transformation of DAML+OIL definitions to an XML schema.

You may want to have a look at the language specification at 
http://www.daml.org/2001/03/daml+oil-index.html.

We find the reference description of DAML+OIL 
(http://www.daml.org/2001/03/reference) particularly helpful to understand a 
few differencies in the semantics of OIL and DAML+OIL. But for these 
differencies, the DAML+OIL support apparently boils down to identifiying 
DAML+OIL constructions corresponding to OIL constructions and changing the 
stylesheets accordingly. So the good news: the algorithms behind transformation 
presumably should not be changed (unless we want that).  

It goes without saying, we are ready to discuss further details any time.

Kind regards 
Iryna
