I'm working on bringing iText XML a little more up to date  (support for 
PdfPTable, MultiColumnText,
and the changes to Rectangle).  Is the current XML format considered to be a 
stable form that should
not be changed for existing elements?  I can just extend it, but it might be 
nice to make a few
changes.  In particular, colors are represented with three attributes for each 
type of color - i.e.:
<cell red="128" green="100" blue="128" bgred="30" bggreen="40" bgblue="50 .../>

Since rectangles now support different color borders on each side, I really 
didn't want to add 12
more attributes.  I would prefer to handle this with a single attribute for 
each side color using an
HTML like syntax: <cell border-left-color="#FF0000" ... />  I think it would be 
nice to change all
the other uses of color attributes to a similar syntax.  The somewhat dated 
itext.dtd seemed to
indicate this approach was at least considered once since it specifies 
bordercolor and
backgroundcolor attributes that don't seem to be used now.

Any thoughts?
