This code should not be extended much, if at all, it should perhaps be cleaned up, but that also pends on reaching agreement/consensus on the OpenRaster specification at freedesktop. Right now the current code serves the purpose and it is not meant to be extended much even when reshaped to be more inline with the OpenRaster plans. One of the things that is pending with regard to the XML format is finding a way to make the meta operations be described as XML instead of C, this should also be easily doable continuing to use gmarkup (this might be unrelated to OpenRaster, or might be something that could be folded into the set of things specified there.) I would like to see a significant advantage over the current parsing approach for dragging in an external library. For the serialization (generation of XML) I doubt that other approaches would yield any siginificantly saner code. It might even be better to completely remove all XML based functionality than to add a new dependency on an external library. /Øyvind K. -- «The future is already here.
