Summary: XML Descriptor Format Change

Initial Comment:
Upon review the XML format for representing descriptors
has been simplified to:

<Descriptor>
  <field 
    name="{name string}" 
    value="{value string encoding}">
  </field>
  ...
</Descriptor>

where {value string encoding} is

a. "(null)" if the value is null
b. the string itself; unless the string begins with '('
c. "(<value.getClass().getName()>/<value string rep>)"

For example:

<Descriptor>
  <field name="nullfield" value="(null)">
  </field>
  <field name="stringfield" value="string">
  </field>
  <field
    name="objfield"
    value="(java.net.URL/http://mx4j.sourceforge.net)">
  </field>
  <field 
    name="specialstring"
    value="(java.lang.String/(specialstring))"
  </field>
</Descriptor>
