[Nms-cgi-devel] NMSBoard data format question...

[Wizard <wi...@ne...>]

Just to respond to the concerns that Nick and Simon had regarding the
"XML-like/unlike" format specified for NMSBoard; I created a DTD that
defines the data format. It appears to validate with both my text editor and
IE6 (in IE6 you can collapse/expand the entries...cool!). This should
restrict an XML editor from munging the format.

The question is, should I include it in the distribution, or would that
indicate that we are using XML, as I would also have to rename the data file
with an .xml extension and add <?xml?> and <!DOCTYPE> tags? Another option
would be to link to it through a common URL, like
'http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/nmsboard.dtd', which means that we would
have sole control over the format.
Let me know,
Grant M.
