Yes but a bad standard remains a bad standard: pgn is a bad standard brecause it
requires a lot of stupid things.

E.g.: why on earth the line of the text should be fixed? I see only good reasons
for not fixing it.

Than the handling of variations and comments is not specified properly.

I think we need a better standard and I hope it will be an XML-based one.
