I like the xml generation pass but i have a few questions:

does the xml-publish transaction lend a greater window of opportunity  
for mirror rsync de-sync?

does it make sense for digest info be sucked up into the xml pass, to  
be superceded by the legacy files where present ala

ebuild x-y/z.ebuild digest

should the xml be digested?
