Thanks for your kind words, and I personally believe the same thing ;)

Well, the thing you might want to do on the short term now is to make 2 DTD=
's.
where one DTD does the project and the other is the resource pool stuff.

Putting that in a tgz stream as 2 files will probably make future features
a lot easier. And more importantly; you will be able to read newer files
with older versions of your software.

I'd personally really like to see this seperation.


Further I am wondering what to do with features KPlato (www.koffice.org/kpl=
ato)
has in its datastructure but are not present in the DTD.
I don't think it is something that has to be done immidiately since we will=
 not
write to file for a little while (vacation and understaffed etc.) but I'd l=
ike
to know how you guys feel about extra tags and maintaining the DTD.
