Carl,

On quick inspection you deserve an award for the most complex
XML application I have seen, and also for using the most
complex parts of the W3C specifications.

You guys certainly do not let fear hold you back!

You might be interest to learn that the UK Ordnance Survey now provides
their Land Line (vector) data as a GML (Geography Markup Language)
encoding.
GML is an adopted OpenGIS Specification. GML is based on the
eXtensibleMarkup Language (XML), is an open and non-proprietary
specification used for the transport and storage of geographic information.

Kind regards
