Alright, I might've misunderstood you here then. So you're into us including who won the hand? If that's the case, we agree

Of course, go back a couple pages. I have a win/loss action for each player in the showdown.

You're not really understanding the problem I'm laying out. Yes, if we're completely parsing the hand, we will know the final pot size. But if we're simply reading the XML file, transforming it into another format, only interested in the overall summary (win/loss), it would be a great help not having to parse the complete action to get the final pot size and net win/loss.

I think we have to look at the bigger picture though. A format that rules supreme for the majority of applications using the format.
It doesn't seem logical to make the file size of each hand ~15% larger just to make "hand summary applications" happy.
