Now I am playing with a test program (called kalendar), which has its
only implementation of KDatePicker, and now I'd like to add my own
KDataTable.

IMO, the requirements for the new KDataTable is as follows:
1. the available info of each day, is supplied by plugins
2. In each of the cell (a day), the layout of the information is
customizable by the user (this including whether or not a specific
info should be displayed or not)

My proposed way of implementing this is to provide a XML document
type, and each plugins can insert its own info into the doc: all
information from enabled plugins are made available in the XML doc.
What and how to present to the user in each cell in KDataTable is
determined by a xslt transform file (like the way in kopete chat
window customization)

Comments are highly welcomed. Thanks.

Regards,
Cougar
