Well, CSDL won't be anything like XML. I don't know anything about
Microsoft's WSH stuff, sorry.

A preprocessor would be better, you could then distribute the .pov
files to people who don't have the CSDL preprocessor. It would also be
much easier to debug...and you wouldn't have to release separate
versions for the official POV and MegaPOV or whatever other patches
might be out there...and people who avoid patched versions won't avoid
using a separate utility.
