Nonononono, that's exactly what Adobe's Flash-to-iPhone compiler was 
doing and it's explicitly forbidden in the new guidelines. Quote:

 - "Applications that link to documented APIs through an 'intermediary 
translation or compatibility layer' are strictly banned"
 - "Applications must be originally written in Objective-C, C, C++, or 
JavaScript"

Running your "<Width>5</Width>" XML script through a custom 
pre-processor to convert it directly into a "SetWidth" call and 
statically binding that to your application would clearly violate this, 
God help you if you get caught!
