Summary: DescriptorSupport XML ctor unimplemented

Initial Comment:
The DescriptorSupport ctor that takes an XML string as
input is not implemented. 

To address this issue the following design should be
implemented:

XML for a Descriptor will look like:

<Descriptor>
  <field name="name" value="value">
  </field>
</Descriptor>

Per the javadoc non-String values will be surrounded by 
parenthesis. Additionally their types will be encoded
using a scheme similar to that used to encode JNI type
signatures:

(Ztrue) => a Boolean true
(B64) => a Byte value of 64
(Cx) => a Character value of 'x'
(S2048) => a Short value of 2048
(I16384) => an Integer value of 16384
(J987654321) => a Long value of 987654321
(F1.234) => a Float value of 1.234
(D3.14e-10) => a Double value of 3.14e-10
(Ljava.net.URL;file:///.emacs) => a URL

Since the javadoc requires that the output of
toXMLString() can be used to create an equivalent
Descriptor via the XML ctor the necessary changes will
be made to toXMLString() as well.
