... so I hope that VOTable will remain as it is, an open interoprable 
standard to facilitate devellopers life
who construct useful and marvellous tools like TOPCAT, Aladin, VOPlot an 
so-on
and never taylored to be used preferentuially in  automatic/clicked 
engeneering 
where generated code can never be safe nor robust and  doubtfullly 
useful for longterm.
