Sorry to dwell on the small points :-), but I am feeling like this:

<topic name="SOME PATTERN">
...
</topic>

is very confusing.  Since the name "topic" is part of a predicate that
associates it with some value, and can be retrieved like:

<get name="topic"/>

Would it not make a great deal more sense for the topic syntax to be:

<topic value="SOME PATTERN">
...
</topic>

?  Just seems that this would be more consistent.
