some questions that need to be answered:
- should it be easily readable by humans?
- does filesize matter? (bloated xml tags?)
- do you want to automatically validate if a HH is in a correct format? (xml schema)
- do you want to be able to create other forms of representation automatically i.e. BB Code, back to PokerSites-individual Formats (XSLT)
- should it only support flop/turn/river games (holdem, omaha) or others too (stud, 5 card draw?)
- should it allow references to earlier defined info? i.e. one currency tag ($,€,t) on top and only numbers later or seat info earlier with Playernames, and later only use seatnumbers to identify players?
- how do you deal with different information, order, detail in Pokersites own formats?
- regarding the creation of real-life-hhs: how much typing do you have to do?
- does tag order in XML matter to you? (what JavaNut mentioned)
