Well, in MicroLark you can implement an ElementFactory and pass it to the
parser, and the parser will use the factory to create element objects
(which must be instances of a subclass of Element).  The factory gets
access to the new element's name and the current element stack including
attributes.  This is somewhat richer than XML Schema, which requires
that the  of an element be determinable using the new element's name
and the names of the elements in the current stack.

Of course, one could write an ElementFactory that uses a configuration
file of some sort; it doesn't have to be hard-coded logic.
