RE: [Xenocide-programming] Tech Tree XML layout

[Andrew P. <a_p...@ho...>]

Good idea on all counts. An explicit reference to an X-Net entry will allow 
revealing of multiple entries. Order of priority on the entries within an 
XOR tag is also good, though some bookkeeping will have to be done in any 
case. I don't mind in principle being able to obsolete multiple researches, 
though I can't currently see any practical use for it (but eh, we might need 
it later :).

Have you thought about trying to come up with an XSD so that we can validate 
XML data files? You can probably generate the XSD backwards from an XML 
entry using XMLspy or the Microsoft XML tool (I forget what it's called).
