Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
This looks similar in spirit to something we call "virtual XML"
at IBM.
At minimum we need to reference this
work from our specs. the SDF markup isn't particularly sophisticated in
the current version from what I can see in the doc, but obviously it is
suitable for the kinds of data it is targeted at.
Specifically I want to look at
the treatment of arrays. We've had a bunch of discussion in the DFDL WG
about arrays and ultimately we punted on them (other than just 1 dimensional
vectors).

[DFDL-WG] Related work
I have been lurking on this list for some
time but I realise that there is a related piece of work, namely DRB -
see http://www.gael.fr/drb/site/
- which I should bring to your attention.
It has been developed by the company Gael
and is used by the European Space Agency (ESA), but I believe it will shortly
be, or may already be, open source.
