An Interface for editing ONET.XML and others?

Not really sure why I have not seen this popping up but Bil Simser has a couple of pet projects which he's hoping to complete, one in particular that caught my attention was this one.

SharePoint Builder

An editor for XML files like the ONET.XML that we all love manually editing so much for site definitions.

Some great features:

Client based editing so you can work offline
Publish to server and reset from inside the tool to see results immediately
Graphical editing of all nodes in ONET and SCHEMA
Validation of nodes so your output isn't screwed up
Context Menus so you can just add stuff without having to know all the Xml behind it
Ability to read in ONET and SCHEMA files from existing SharePoint sites for editing
Visible output of Xml as you build it
Ready for V3 as it understands both 2003 and v3 versions
Great Taste! Less Filling!

Looking forward to seeing this one develop!
