Default Re: Poker Hand XML

From my point of view its the latter. I would still keep the original hand histories. In PT3 for example, we could have an option to import from the PHXML format or export to the PHXML format for third party applications; however, this will not replace the native hand histories.

Therefore, I think chat is not needed and should be optional to the end user or third party software. Thats the beauty of XML...

I agree with this. The purpose of the format in my is that developers of applications don't have to write a different history parser in order to support each site. I'd guess that whoever has an application that reads this new standard is going to have the dll to convert them from the original HH file. So why would they want to store files in this new format? It's going to be bulkier and less readable for humans.
