    Hark the spirit of OpenSource! If people want an XML file format, they 
can write it. It will have little, if any affect on your progress with the 
interpreter or The Witness's block file format.
    How hard could it be to convert between block file format and XML? Famous 
last words, yes, I know, but hey, it won't be our job, just the job of those 
who want XML.
