file formats can and frequently do change.

That happens with databases too. There's ways to cope with that. Plus, public access to the data files helps keep everyone honest. Deal


So why are you against XML again then? Wink Anyway that comment is out of context - my point was that the APIs would always abstract the changes anyway, and in fact this would be more important for a database

I would always favour XML over CSV for a file format for something like this, simply because the XML spec is well defined whereas CSV doesn't even have a spec really.
