As far as gedcom 6 goes, It's been around for ever and nothing has happened with it. There are other competitors to gedcom 6. As far as I know none of xml competitors to gedcom 5.5 have been adopted by the main stream. Various open source programs do have the ability to import/export some of these formats. Here is a list of potential genealogy modeling languages to replace gedcom though it is by no means complete :
GeniML: http://www.softwarerenovation.com/igenie/ Gedml: http://users.breathe.com/mhkay/gedml/index.html GenXML: http://cosoft.org/genxml/ FamilyML: http://www.vitiello.org/familyML.htm Gedcom 6: http://www.biographiks.com/pleasant/gedcom-xml.htm As far as I know it seems they are generally quite stagnant at the moment. There are forums that discuss what data model to use, but there doesn't seem to be any real standards emerging.
