I like your VehicleML Could a EquipmentML and npcML be created ? What license are you putting the VehicleML under (GNU GPL, etc)?

On the one hand, the number of entries makes a modern format necessary, on the other hand there are so many entries that any new format will be outdated by the time I finish the conversion. So I started to think about a generic XML format for vehicles, which could be transformed into html or the like. (In the real world, I'm turning XML into PDF and a colleague does WordML.) The key is getting the generic XML right. What do you think about this? I haven't done a DTD yet, but the two examples should make GT:Starships variant of the format clear. <vehicles> <vehicle id="1"> <meta> <title>Hyalearl, 100-ton Sulieman-Class Scout/Courier</title> <week>698</week> <date>2008-03-10</date> <copyright>2008</copyright> <writer>Onno Meyer</writer> <tech>10</tech> <background>Traveller</background> <version>1.0</version> </meta> <writeup rules="GTStarships"> <intro> The Hyalearl is a Scout/Courier assigned to the Security Branch of the Imperial Interstellar Scout Service.
