In my engine, I basically send messages between the engine itself and the xboard-adapter. This way, it's trivial to let the engine run on a remote host and stuff like that. XML would be useful because it would provide us with a language to describe the ASCII interface clearly. (I'd prefer schemes to DTDs though) The important thing is not whether it's XML or not. You can create the same inflexible, terrible interfaces as before with it. Or you can make much better ones w/o XML. Sargon
