Hmmm.... looks like the cong-dispspec-element-gxx.h was broken, and had
the attribute "tag" rather than "childElement" for this, which was meant
to initialise tagname; this failing would have caused failures in 
cong_dispspec_element_header_info_get_xpath_expression

So this got me thinking: should we fix childElement, or get rid of it?
Having two ways to do it felt overcomplex, so I decided to get rid of
it.  

So I've applied your patch to the dispspecs directory, and hacked out
the rest of the support from the dispspec loaders from the src
directory.

Good stuff.  You also fixed the xds validatation script, looks much
better now.  Thanks!
