It don't people understood my original objection. To endorse XML is to accept it as your 
raw data representation. We are enticed by XML because it is mult-platform and extendable 
to include all those crazy things. Or said another way, if CaveXML does not include 
everything I would like to record about my survey, I will not use it.
