With "proprietary" I meant the Blender-fileformat, not your tool :-)

Btw ... if you are familar with the .blend-fileformat now - how about
writing a specification? ;-)))

Does this mean the Blender fileformat switched to XML or is it still a
proprietary (and totally undocumented) format and only your add-on
allowes
it in save in XML?

Blender fileformat hasn't changed at all, and actually i don't have a clue about how to read .blend files, but i don't think its necessary, cause the greatest blender power resides (IMHO) in its scripting abilities, and in fact there are really a lot of I/O scripts out there. Blend2java is NOT proprietary. The xml file is the result of new java serialization method ( try to work with XMLEncode , look at the xml output and you'll find the same syntax ) So, in the end, take a look at blend2java source (both export.py and java routines) , it's Open Source... :)

And in my
opinion every additional export-tool would be nice but not a good
solution
if it isn't shipped together with the blender package.

I totally disagree about that!!! hehe :-)
