[windup-dev] Increasing depth of rules

[Robb Greathouse]

The use case is to extract the values to pass to a Forge plugin.  

Use case breaks down to this:

   1.  Identify an Action that needs to be migration.  Example, Action : Create Composite Service
         a. This is created by an xPath.
  
   2.  Having identified the Action we need to extract the parameters necessary to put into the plugin and run it.

Following this the mapping module could would map the the action and parameters to the plugin commands.

In order to accomplish this, nesting is required so that the Action and parameters can be linked.  Since there can be any number of similar actions can be found, I can't think of a way to link them with single layer and no lists.

If they are nested they can be extracted from the archive in post processing.
