Tables, Wrappers and MLs, oh my!

["Stone, Brad V (TC)" <bvstone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I guess my biggest problem right now is that I'm trying to follow a couple
different ideas of how my application should have been done.

if I have the code...

Table myTable = new Table();
myTable.setFormatter(new XMLTableFormatter());
myTable.toML();

With the following construcion:
Table is a vector of Rows
Rows is a vector of Fields

1.  Where and how do I set the wrapper for the Field?
2.  Where and how do I set the wrapper for the Row?
3.  What if I wanted HTML.  I need to set HTML tags then for each Field and
Row (<td> and <tr>, but...see number 4
4.  Again, if it's HTML, a field could have a class assigned to it.  That's
specific to HTML.  Should it be included in the Field definition as an
attribute?
5.  What if a new ML type is added that is totally different.  now I have
the possibilities of NEW attributes being added specific to that 'ML.

With everything encupsulated as shown in the example above, There's no way
to set these attributes.  I'm not talking just one or two, I'm talking
infinte possiblities.

The Field it is possible because I can use the field column name for the XML
tag as a default.  But I still have no way of passing any different data
into the field when each one is created because everything is so
encapsulated.
