Woops, I hit the wrong button too soon.  Here is what I wanted to say:

Another thing I think should be added to the xml output (I am calling the xml
format abixml now) is annotations to make the output easier to read and
understand.

for instance, if in abixml you have this:

   <type-decl name='char' size-in-bits='8' id='type-id-7'/>
    (...)
   <qualified-type-def type-id='type-id-7' const='yes' id='type-id-8'/>
    (...)
   <pointer-type-def type-id='type-id-8' id='type-id-9'/>

The second and third lines becomes easier to read when accompanied by a comment
like:

   <type-decl name='char' size-in-bits='8' id='type-id-7'/>
    (...)
   <!-- const char -->
   <qualified-type-def type-id='type-id-7' const='yes' id='type-id-8'/>
    (...)
   <!-- const char* -->
   <pointer-type-def type-id="type-id-8' id='type-id-8'/>

This eases reviews of changes to abixml files.
