-1 YAML +1 XML Why throw away such a well established standard to use something experimental? Especially given that there are so many libraries already based around XML.
Is XML really so hard to write by hand? Sorry for having a negative opinion, but this just seems like using something different for the sake of it, without any really compeling reason to do so. Rupert On 1/26/07, Alan Conway <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

My point was only that if we go with a YAML solution it won't *prevent* us from accommodating an XML presentation if/when we ever need to - hopefully we won't ;) We should definitely start with YAML.
