Bug XML output questions

[Joel Peshkin]

Wouldn't it help a lot if the interface also permitted retrieving an XSD
output?  The XSD could be generated with an awareness of flag types,
custom fields, etc.   Since the XSD itself is an xml format, it could
either be treated by the client as an xsd or, more likely, parsed as an
xml document that answers many of the questions Gerv points out.
