I am glad that you see the potential here too. I know that there are no
guarantees that this will work but I think the potential benefits we would
receive if it does are substantial.

I have stated my position on this issue but I am reluctant to move forward
unless most of us agree that this is a good idea. How do we reach a consensus?

OpenOffice comes with its file size optimizations set to 'true'. In order to
enable pretty printing of the XML files, go under Tools, Options, Load/Save,
General and turn size optimization off.

I would be happy to do this. Before I start, though, could you please do the
CVS experiments you did earlier with XML pretty printing turned on and then
report your findings back to the list?
Thanks,
Ted
