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.
