We can't do this without making the conversion from the Telepathy
specification format to ordinary D-Bus introspection (and for that
matter HTML) substantially more complicated.

I have code in telepathy-glib to map from XML struct descriptions (also
dicts and arrays) to GLib GType-generating functions, which includes an
XML file with descriptions of the structs I'm supporting. I intend to
incorporate this in the spec - I'll look at your ideas for struct
formats and make sure my format is at least as expressive as yours.
