I am working on a proof of concept for processing an unknown number of XML documents that include some header info and an unknown number of details. I have looked through Scott's article at http://systeminetwork.com/article/real-world-example-xml, and it looks like XML-INTO will fit the bill, but I have not seen a good way to handle an unknown number of detail formats. Would I do that with an array embedded within the data structure at the right depth? If that is the case, I will need to set a maximum expected number of details. How do I know if I have overflowed that array?
