I THINK I had a schema, heavily based on someone else's, that others 
felt was too complex.

They were probably quite right.

Suggested basic principals... (feel free to disagree)

1) Simple but expandable. (i.e practical, not a "reference 
implementation" that is unusably slow.)

2) Quickly parsable by script-style languages which start from scratch 
each time they execute. (Other languages can use the xml to build a 
more quickly accessible data structure for that language  on a "build 
once, read many times" basis, if they want to...)

I chatted to Mika about his php imode data script. He says he is 
planning a  version 2, with a slightly different api.  It might be 
worth chatting to him about his using an xml backend for his new 
version, so what he writes for version two is the api. (or he might 
prefer to do his own thing completely, at least until he sees working 
code...)

What data do we want to record for each phone?
