I wasn't aware of your code until someone told me about it on IRC. XML 
is more nice of course. We can easily transform it to HTML with XSL 
stylescheets. I do this already with the checkstyle xml output. I 
will install this on developer.classpath.org when I'm back from 
holidays. Your mauve things might be good to have there too. Can you 
both work together on this mauve stuff ?
