Gamer asks about implementing XML:

Are the developers considering using an XML format to describe the various entities (PC/NPCs, areas, items, scripts, what have you) that can be produced by the toolset? Using XML, which is a human readable, (platform independent) standard notation will make it easier for
users to construct supporting tools to modify created material or create new material to be input into NWN (e.g. a "town maker" tool set). Most browser/web authoring tools worthy of the name should be able to manipulate
XML directly.

XML isn't really a possible choice for us. Due to the constraints we have placed on module size and in general bandwidth requirements we have to use our own proprietary highly compressed formats
