​That's good to know.

I do not want to force Leo users to abandon the .leo format.  xml is a
standard, and who knows how Leo users are using that format? Do *not*
assume that you know the answer to this question!

Happily, this discussion is premature.

Note to Terry: imo, it's worth virtually any amount of behind-the-scenes
effort so that we don't disrupt users' experience.  Forking python has been
a catastrophe.  We don't want anything like that for Leo.
