I'd be very interested in learning what has been proposed so far for doing 
this.  We'd be very much interested in a flexible architecture, allowing us 
to specify dynamic records.  E.g. things like Handsfree profile requires SDP 
records with supported features attributes.  This is something that we just 
cannot do currently with the existing infrastructure.

I shall work on forming a DTD.  It most likely will closely follow the BlueZ 
type structure.  Should I work on the patch for registering/unregistering XML 
SDP records against hcid as well?

I completely agree.  However, up to this point sdptool has been the only way 
to develop "real applications."  Using sdp library directly is not an option 
for us.
