Well, a good thing about XML is that it's, umm, extensible :-)

It seems like you should be able to add possible fields without breaking 
things as long as you don't take any fields away.  But outputting in XML 
*does* provide a standard way to parse, which would be nice if people (i.e. 
script writers) want to do things with this.  So I'd say XML++ too, but 
that's just my opinion...
