Use of xsdconfig file to change doc. elmt. name?

Question

I've got the following simple xsd file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace="/my/ns"
elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
<xs:element name="Outer">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="Inner1" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element name="Inner2" type="xs:string" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
Which produces a "document" class named OuterDocument with a member "element"
class named Outer.
But let's say I need a different name, so I use the xsdconfig capabilitiy to direct
the name change. Here's the xsdconfig file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xb:config xmlns:xb="http://www.bea.com/2002/09/xbean/config"
xmlns:xai="/my/ns">
     <xb:qname name="xai:Outer"
     javaname="NotInner"/>
</xb:config>
I now get a document class named NotInner with an element class not very elegantly
named NotInner2. Ideally I'd either like a NotInnerDocument with element NoInner,
or I'd like to specify name transformations for both. Is there any way to do
this?
Thanks in advance for any advise.

Hi,
Letting an application edit files to change names and terms looks like an ugly solution, apart from any difficulties that arise (such as rights on directories and files). I think it's best to create a separate output (one project, multiple webhelp outputs) each specified for the client.
To do this, I can come up with three usefull features:
1. CBT's: look into conditional build tags. With these, you can keep topics/text/etc out of certain outputs.
2. Variables. In RH8, you can create multiple sets of those (same variable, different value) and use the separate sets for separate outputs.
3. Multiple style sheets. In RH8, you can select which style sheet you want to use for your topics when you create the webhelp. You can create a separate style sheet for every different brand and use those style sheets when you output your files.
Hope this helps,
Willam
