CSV is self-describing, provided that you follow the convention that uses the first line to name the rows. I think self-description is interesting provided that the document structure remains simple. If the document structure is big, e.g. DocBook, self-description of XML markup helps reading the document with human eyes, but that's all. A schema is required to implement data-processing algorithms. Regards, Nicolas http://nicolas.lehuen.com/
