I had actually already started on en ELF structure description, but yours is much better.
Just a small suggestion: use "application-x-executable" for the Icon in elf.desktop.
I like it, and I think it is somewhat a core structure, so I wouldn't mind if you uploaded it to the
example directory (kdeutils/okteta/kasten/controllers/view/structures/schema/example)
It would also be good if you could upload it to http://kde-files.org/index.php?xcontentmode=691 so
that it can be installed automatically once the KNS support has been added. Moreover it is more
likely that people find it there than if it is only in SVN.

Good idea, however I think it makes more sense as a subelement, since long attribute texts are ugly.

Sounds good, added to my TODO list.
