Sounds like a good match, and quite possibly the closest to the desired
goal that one may be able to get.  Your product sounds impressive, Jeff.

One thing...have you seen the output of my product, and the "hints"
(separate CSV records) that you have to follow in order to know where
within the data structure you are?  If your importer can follow that and
create code to follow the desired relationships, sounds like a winning
combination to me.
