editor plug n' play.

I was just telling Karl that I really *like* the idea of being able to
mix n' match editors and editor-drivers. After this milestone, I hope
we can try to preserve that goal... it can be really powerful.

For example, imagine a client switch which does a checkout from a
server, but instead of creating a working copy, creates an XML file!
All we'd have to do is put Greg Stein's driver with Greg Hudson's
XML-output editor. And conversely, you can tote the XML file around
and then "import it" into a client to someday create a real working
copy.

Maybe that's a silly example... but I still like the ideas of people
posting <delta-pkg> XML files to mailing-lists as an alternative to
GNU-diff patches. :)
