Hi Raymond, I am the original author of Chainsaw. I have lots of ideas on how to improve Chainsaw, but due to time constraints I have basically taken on the role of maintainer. I will fix any reported bugs, and endeavour to incorporate patches. I also have dialogue with some people who would like to modify Chainsaw. So I would be happy to coordinate with you to improve Chainsaw.
WRT Chainsaw not being compatible with output from earlier XMLLayout format. This is intentional, in so far that when the format changed, I updated Chainsaw to work with the new format. From memory I am not sure if it was possible to be backwardly compatible - that could have been due to using a validating XML parser. If it is easy and reliable to support both formats, then this is a good fix. Please feel free to e-mail directly.
