The Gorse Fox is convinced there must be a simple way of generating an hierarchical diagram from an xml datastructure... such that a "bill of materials" can be illustrated from a textual list. He has spent much of the day chasing elusive concepts and products that don't quite do it.

The PMs GF is working with are working from a huge diagram that needs to refelect a number of changes and cascading sequence numbers need to be managed automatically to reflect the changes. GF feels sorry for them... so has been looking around. (But he doesn't feel sorry enough to write the solution himself).
