Thanks, all.

It seems like I read somewhere that Blizz preferred UI definitions in the separate xml file. However, most books on addons are relatively few and older now. I recently read on a forum that it was considered better and more elegant to do it all in lua now. When it comes to coding, I am all about elegant. However, I am currently working on a project based on a quite old addon long since not supported. And so, trying not to do a complete rewrite even though much does not resemble the original stuff and so far, I have added a lot. Perhaps my next iteration will be doing away with the xml file.
Thanks, again, guys.
