TJ has two specfile formats, one is XML (to be precise there are two
versions of it) and one is the more programming language-like. Both are
basically equivalent, but the XML format has not all the features of the
"classical" format yet.

The "% done" is what I am talking about, too ;-)

Well, but that won't give you anything close to what you can do with TJ
right now. It's like graphical programming: You can do part of it (think
UML with code generation), but it's not quite there yet.
That said, there might be ways to combine both approaches. I just
haven't found a perfect solution yet ...

To some extend yes. But if you are rescheduling you need a controlling
server instance that makes sure that everything is kept in the right order.
