XML Repositories
Even though SIDL is currently the primary input format for Babel,
it is not the only format Babel understands. For type
repositories (similar in function to include directories
for C/C++ headers) the preferred language to articulate
types is XML.
Babel has the capabilities to convert SIDL files into
XML files adhering to the SIDL.dtd. This capability is
explained further in Chapter 13. The XML
files in these repositories can be included in subsequent
runs quickly since all the external references were resolved
by Babel during their creation. A SIDL file may refer to
unresolved types.
