Yes, it would be nice for them to base their UI on HTML. But they don't want to. Given that, this is just the kind of thing that would have been stored in (a) the registry, (b) in an .ini file, or (c) in some one-off binary format, before XML. I suspect the designers of the skinnable media player don't care if they're part of the XML community or not. For a one-only, lightweight specification format, I think XML is a great choice. -Wayne Steele ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com *************************************************************************** This is xml-dev, the mailing list for XML developers.
