I've been reading up on Steve's N-triples suggestion... > NTriples is defined in > http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-testcases/#ntriples > General RDF stuff is at > http://www.w3.org/RDF/ This approach has considerable merit... (1) It is a W3C standard. (2) It is mathematically deep and well thought out. (3) It is specifically intended for adding property lists to the web (4) The syntax is well-defined (5) No large parsing library is needed (6) There are tools for converting to XML While I like both XML and LISP for various reasons, I really think this proposal deserves a closer look. It looks like a wonderful solution for LADSPA metadata. ++N_triples. -- joq
