I've spent a few hours playing with the FW XML and FWAC java source, 
investigating the
ideas I have regarding item handling.  I did manage to get something running, 
albeit in a
rudimentary manner.  I've cover these briefly.

XML file:
=========
I updated my local copy of the 01HH XML file, modifying the item class entries 
to add
extra information fields, for example:

Picking up a mirror:
<typ class="item">Mirror</typ>
<typ class="item" type="backpack" event="pickup">Mirror</typ>

This is a step in a good direction, although we do have an "item" tag, so this could be:

<item type="backpack" event="pickup">Mirror</item>

Are you carrying a Mirror:
<typ class="item">Mirror</typ>
<typ class="item" type="backpack" event="check">Mirror</typ>

This would require a new element (or possibly just use an old one).


HTML File:
==========
Once generated, the HTML resembles this (taken from 01HH, sect303)
<li><span event="pickup" type="backpack" class="item">Telescope</span></li>

I'm not excited about the non-standard HTML attributes. :) I'm still trying to figure out the best way to store this kind of info while sticking to the standard.
