Might I suggest a fully delimited XML format for the export. By 'fully
delimited', I mean the fields of an address are seperate, for example,
(street, city, state/province, country, zip/postal code).
Similarily a standard normalized date format, like, "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS"
I have designed many data export/import systems and would like to
comment on the format before it being coded, I'd suggest you post the spec
on the web site and post the URL here to give you the bexst feedback.
