Gillian,

Sorry ... I was wrong about that.  In fact it was the Create() method that I
modified so you could pass an XML description directly as the name.  That could
be useful to create a virtual dataset representing a view on to something
without the XML having to actually be written to disk.  I have now also
modified the Open() method to allowing passing in raw XML.

Best regards,
