Well, MapInfo can Import OSGB GML 2.1, but I wouldn't count on MapInfo being able to import any type of GML ...
You are right GML might be a suggestion, but then we all need to convert these files to a different format. I don't think users could live with the GML format as a working format !!?? Another format could be ORacle Spatial, but the question is whether you actually can call this an open format ?
