I've been looking into to this a bit myself, and have had trouble with the fact that the XML descriptions of the protocol are extremely C-centric. As in, the union types defined in the XML are C-unions, and I've seen a struct definition which uses padding-bytes to store semantically useful data.

Both of which are fine things to do in C, but a bit tricky to map onto Haskell.

Maybe this Haskell package libxml [1] will be helpful for this. The package provides bindings for the XML parser and toolkit for Gnome: libxml [2]. Hope this helps. __ Donnie 1. http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/libxml-0.1 2. http://xmlsoft.org/
