I don't believe I know enough about the significance of a default locale
and its impact on the schema driven interface to know if this is a
viable option. Below is the schema I defined for the 404 redirection
tool. Its root node is called Rules. The idea is to have lots of
'Rule' child nodes, that each organize their unique rule. If you
believe the option you propose will allow for this, I am happy to figure
it out the rest of the way. However, if after reviewing my schema you
believe that what I hope to accomplish is not possible with the option
you propose, please let me know. I am happy contribute any changes that
might make this concept valuable for others to use.
Thank you,
--Daniel Rhoden
