I don't think that is what he was talking about though.  I believe, perhaps
wrongly, he was referring to the distributed raw nodelist and not how any
individual nodelist processor handles it.  Personally I can see how XML
looks attractive for a wide variety of reasons, including a stored, usable
nodelist on any individual node, but draw the line where it comes to a raw
distributed nodelist.  It should be a humanly readable file.  Also, any
editor, line or interactive, worth it's weight in bytes should be able to
produce entries.  It would be nice if there were some usable information in
those entries and predictable where the usable information is exactly. 
That would go the furthest in assisting compliance.

Life is good,
Maurice
