What I would like to grow out of this is some simple test framework that just takes a bunch of input files, passes them to xml2brl with a set of options and compares the output to a set of defined responses. In your case you define an xml input file and you also have a brl output that you expect given a set of configuration settings. This could be done in a similar way to what I did for liblouis where you place a file into a certain directory and the two columns in this file are automatically tested in the 'make check' process (http://code.google.com/p/liblouis/source/browse/trunk/tests/table_test_corpuses/README). I could see a test directory where you place your test file. Each directory could contain an input file, an output file (the expected output) and probably a config file. Then a simple Perl script just invokes xml2brl with the right config file and compares the output with the given one. I can hack up this Perl script if you think this is a valid idea (and contribute some test data :-)).
