Hi Brian,
thanks for the proposal. It sounds interesting, however I don't see how 
the following will work:

If it would be possible to do a non-callback approach, we would do it. 
We haven't found out how to do it in this case. Otherwise we would of 
course do it without the callback.
The second issue is, how the reference resolver can create a new 
instance of the reader with the same configuration to be able to resolve 
external references.

Also there is no way to specify a document URI in XmiWriter.write, which 
is essential for reference resolver to work.
