Maybe you can translate the PGN "white has a decisive space advantage" to the Informant "space advantage", but you can't translate it back once you are done with it, because you've lost information. If I were the only one using the PGN standard, and there were no existing archives, I would delete the NAG set entirely and start over, with the Informant symbols as a base. If I were the only one using the PGN standard, but there were a lot of existing archives, I think I might add the Informant symbols at the end (>= 140). But since there are lots of people with translaters already written, and I don't own the standard, I don't know what can be done about it. Is there any support for revision of the standard in such a way the the Informant symbols are supported? bruce
