My thought was to be able to provide the following abilities:

* Indexing (by groups)
* Requirements
* Keyword searching
* Descriptions

...and with the following requirements:

* Expandability (add tags at will)
* Robustness (unknown tags don't matter)
* Ability to be used on an LRP system
* Analyzed by shell code
* Simple

To me, that all works against XML.
