SDLang-D update (v0.9.0) has now been tagged/released:

It's a D lib to parse and generate the SDL data language (similar to 
XML/JSON, but more human-friendly, while still being very simple).

Most of the big changes have been sitting in master for awhile, so this

Changes:
--------------------------------------------
- Breaking change: Changed package structure to use package.d. Most 
users will be unaffected, but the internal package names have changed

- New: Added StAX/Pull-style parser via pullParseFile and 
pullParseSource. (Warning: FileStartEvent and FileEndEvent might be

Very nice.

I wonder about representation of references, and perhaps 
replication, inheritance.  Does SDL just punt on those?

SDL does not specifically address those. It's just left up to your own schema. (Which reminds me: I'd really like to see an official SDL schema format designed. I'll have to come up with a proposal and kick the idea upstream.)
