I don't see why we can't write something that allows us to break down 
XML files into less complicated blocks of files.  This is definitely 
something that should get written.

Along the lines of managing complexity, it were best we had a real user 
interface for authoring these rule sets.  I would like to see something 
that manages the creation of object mappings to propositional variables, 
and the large-scale authoring and categorization of rule subsets.  
Ideally users would never even see the XML file, but it would be 
packaged in a manner similar to how OpenOffice packages its XML file 
descriptors. 

It is not a high priority for me to write this at the moment, however.  
Still, I believe it is in the JIRA.

Best,
