Imageset files

For the time being, this has been copy-and-pasted directly from "readme.txt" in the XMLRefSchema directory of the CEGUI source code. Some prettier formatting along the lines of Scheme files would be nice.

Introduction

Imagesets define one or more images on a larger image (texture). The root element must be Imageset.

NOTE: These XML files are case sensitive, so the XML Elements/Attributes will be written in the case required rather than by capitalization rules.
