I thought that we were ok for most options because
each method is attached to a different object.
You should be able to read each option to tell what
datatype it is when generating the XML, or am I
misunderstanding it?

If we change some methods so that they return either
arrays or dictionaries then it should make it easier to
handle.  getMetadata should probably return a dictionary
with the restrictions being an array.

The real problem is actions (ie activate/terminate)
because they can take a variable number of arguments
so would need to register somehow.
