XML

Sometimes you want content that is still managed by a content management system, but not displayed with any of the blocks or menus or anything else the CMS usually helpfully supplies. You may even want to take over the content definition or other information sent with the page but not seen. In other words, Take over entire page with HTML/XML defined in content.

Is there a module yet to allow a piece of content to completely take over a page? Defining all the headers and HTML and XML with nothing generated by Drupal?

Stefan brought up the desirability of defined XML schemas for Drupal configuration, and the niceness of autocomplete XML-aware editors could then provide.

Patterns module would appear to be the closest to providing this: http://drupal.org/node/353654

There is some conflict though, we think, between auto-generating and hand-editing XML (or any other) configuration files; changes should come from one source.
