I do this too often on this list but... uh...

AUGGHHH!

AFAIK XML-XCB doesn't currently support variable-length lists in the
middle of structures, as in the xprint example:

    <struct name="PRINTER">
        <field type="CARD32" name="nameLen" />
        <list type="STRING8" name="name">
            <fieldref>nameLen</fieldref>
        </list>
        <!-- Padding -->
        <field type="CARD32" name="descLen" />
        <list type="STRING8" name="description">
            <fieldref>descLen</fieldref>
        </list>
        <!-- More padding -->
    </struct>

I don't know what to suggest right now.
