Hi,

About kvtml: attached is a small file with 2 entries zoo.kvtml (I am not a 
kvtml guru though)
dtd can be found at 
https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdeedu/libkdeedu/repository/revisions/master/changes/keduvocdocument/kvtml2.dtd

pros of using kvtml: 
parser ready
editor can be extended for users to easily contribute (based on Kanagram 
editor and improve it for example)

cons:
does not directly fit the needs (would need extensions)
not sure how other progs would find the adequate files anyway (KHangMan would 
need only text-text pairs files for example)

As far as I see it, pros are programatically oriented: less code to do.

A new format is a lot of work though. Keep it simple (do we need miss and 
found sounds per theme? and even a theme sound? that seems a lot of work for 
the theme designer, pictures, xml file, sounds,...)

There are 2 sides in the theme support: to make people contribute themes 
easily and to easily read themes from the game.

I like the first draft of the xml you sent minus all I said above. Supporting 
categories as said Todd is a good idea.

Best regards,

Anne-Marie
