okay, ready?

follow the links from here ->
http://www.o-xml.org/projects/mlml/cli.html

The stylesheet in the download generates MLML from the CLI type 
definitions, not to be confused with CIL (Common Instruction Language). 
Hope that is what you expected.

I've also updated the MLML reference page with links to the (updated) 
schema, and some generated schema documentation.

I had to change the type reference method to use 'ref' attributes for 
references, and 'name' attributes for type definitions only. Makes much 
more sense that way.

The CLI example illustrates parameterised types, even though CLI in 
itself doesn't support or provide them. References, arrays and pointers 
are represented in MLML as parameterised types, possibly with more than 
one level.
For example: A reference to an array of System.Object would be 
'System.Object[]&' in C# notation.
In MLML it is represented as:
<type ref="reference">
     <type ref="array">
         <type ref="System.Object"/>
     </type>
</type>

Whether that should actually be 'mlml:reference' and 'mlml:array', or 
maybe 'csharp:reference' and 'csharp:array', is something I'm not too 
sure about yet!
