Description

It would be very advantageous for users to add a new processing instruction
that we can use to self reference XML or other files from within a source that
will be bound.

For example

<?xml version=”1.0” ?>
<?binding-rules source=”org/apache/jakarta/commons/digester/myrules.xml” ?>
<a>
……
</a>

This way we can change target objects and runtime binding just by editing the
xml file with rules or editing separate rules.

The rules should be available via multiple sources:
ClassLoader
File
URL
Custom
