Jason & Brian:
I have a suggestion for another download format - XML.
I've been using XML and XSL a lot lately in my work and I was thinking =
about how I might apply it to geocaching.
If I could get a file of all my caches in XML format, then I could =
transform them into almost anything with XSL. For example, if I wanted =
my own web page, transform it into HTML. If I wanted to load into =
another program, I'd just need and XSL file for that format. If I =
wanted to print a book of all our family adventures, I could transform =
into a PDF file that could include pictures.
There are lots of possibilities. What do you think?
