It sounds like a log of the bindings will really consist of something similar to
"take this other binding definition and change these values"

I think that figuring out a good way to handle this (and make sure that when
people change one binding, they can know what other bindings they are changing
through the dependancies) is at least as important as figuring out the formal
schemas and multiple inheritance issues.
