A draft of format: <aircrafts> <aircraft> <name short="A-10">Fairchild-Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II</name> <download href="path/to/archive" /> <thumbnail href="path/to/tumbnail" /> <works-with> <version>0.9.11</version> <version>0.9.12</version> </works-with> <description> Blah blah blah. Blah blah!<br /> blah blah. </description> </aircraft> <aircraft> <name short="Lightning">English Electric Lightning</name> <download href="path/to/archive" /> <thumbnail href="path/to/tumbnail" /> <works-with> <version>0.9.10</version> <version>0.9.11</version> <version>0.9.12</version> </works-with> <description> Something here. Whatever. blah. </description> </aircraft> </aircrafts> Description could maybe allow some limited html (<br />, <h1/2/3...>, <a> and maybe a few more)? Version information may need a better format. Maybe blacklisting versions. Maybe osg/plib info. Maybe other stuff too.
