See http://home.iclweb.com/icl2/mhkay/GedML.html My approach with GedML was to define an XML encoding of the existing GEDCOM data model. this gives you two-way convertibility, but it means all the limitations of the GEDCOM data model are still there, so all you really get is easier parsing. Others have experimented with extending the data model, but then you start to lose out on interoperability. As always with standards it's hard work to move something forward when there is a large existing user base. Mike Kay xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
