An XmlApplication could implement the resolver interface, so it doesn't necessarily imply a proliferation of classes. However, I say it should be kept as simple as possible (but no simpler) to start with, and goodies like the resolver can be added once there are some implementations. Perhaps we'll want a "Level 2" API that extends the interfaces in the Level 1 API?
