Sounds interesting, but I can't tell if there is a popular demand for it !? * there is already an XML schema, called Caxton: http://www.chesscity.com/Caxton/caxton_xml.htm however, I've no idea if it is used in practice. * if you like, I can send you some of the XML data and XSL sheets used by jose (jose-chess.sourceforge.net) The schema isn't public (yet), and subject to change. Incidentally, I'm planning to use XML for cross-tables and tournament reports, too. just some more thoughts: * XML files containing game data could become HUGE, much larger than PGN files. They might not be the best choice for exchanging data, or for sending them to a browser. Rather think about processing them on the server, and send the resultig HTML to the browser. * calculating a cross-table from a list of games is hardly practicabe with XSLT (as far as I can tell). You will probably have to calculate the cross-table beforehand, and store it in the XML file. Regards, Peter
