Puzzling... Why would someone use this? (no real explanation given in the readme)

Lots of WordPress plugin development is focused on hooking to actions and filters. This framework tries to ease the development tasks and to help focus on the plugin features.

Does the framework create the code & files to form a traditional plugin, or does it recreate the plugin functionality based on the xml on each pageload?

It will include the files and create the class instances, and hook their methods to WordPress standard actions and filters based on the Xml configuration at each page load.

We still don't have performance tests, nor any code optimization. We could see however that loading ~100 classes via the Framework takes roughly 150 ms. (that includes the Xml parsing and the class loading).

This is still work in progress, eager for reviews and possibly people that might join the effort if they find it useful.

Thanks for your comments.
