Ooops,
Sorry, it seems that I'm not able to use that @$# M$
Outlook correctly.
I fear my mistake won't be a good introduction for me :-)

What I was saying is,
Well I do not a lot about Gnucash, but I've done quite a lot
of tests and documentation with XML and Docbook (or other Dtd).

 and I think it is possible to use XML to write Gnucash docs.
I'm sure it will be more flexible than SGML file format.
First because it's more simple (I think) to write XSL than
DSSL files, so you can easily write your own "transformers"

You can have a look to XSL that have written by Norman Walsh
( http://nwalsh.com/docbook/xsl/index.html), which are easy to
use and support internationalisation.

Plus, XML is mainly SGML-compatible, and you can use most of the tools
you use to manage SGML documents with your XML.

I don't think so and there are  lots of softs to write, parse, search and
transform XML. Furthermore, it is really easy to have a good multi-lingual
support
with XML.
