Bob, Not sure why you would want to do this. You can set up Solr to guess the schema. It creates a file called manage_schema.xml for an override. This is the case with 5.3 I came across it by accident setting it up the first time and I was a little annoyed but it made for a quick setup. Your programming would still need to realise the new doc structure and use that new document structure. The only problem is it's a bit generic in the guess work and I did not spend much time testing it out so I am not really versed in operating it. I got myself mack to schema.xml ASAP. My thoughts are you are looking at a lot of work for little gain.
