No one is working one it at this time.
I'd done some work on it a year ago, trying to build a DTD parser that 
would automatically generate a set of C++ routines that mirrored the DTD.

-- search the net; its possible that someone has already created
   a generic DTD-to-C++ IDL compiler.  (My code was generic also, and did 
   not assume it was OFX).  My complaint about XML in general is that the
   folks who created it did not seem to really think about how to make it 
   a better IDL.

-- Skip IDL entirely, and use something like libXML.  I'm thinking 
   that this may be simpler/easier/quicker in the short term, and 
   might also be more robust in the long term.  The problem with the IDL 
   approach is that if anybody changes the DTD version then we have versionitis
   problems.  By using the dynamic-any approach of things like libXML,
   these problems go away.
