Hi Rex,

I'm respectfully grateful for your interest. Even flattered, considering that MTML 
is not a well-formed XML way of structuring documents. I've been looking at,  
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/humanmarkup/files/Technical/XML.Schema/XML.Schema/humanmlSchema.xsd 
HumanML-XML Schema v0.1, and I'm impressed by the implications that this 
markup can represent. It strikes me, right off the bat, that this would be a correct 
form of transmission for our research tool at Gestalt Global. With its ability to 
define human characteristics in a contextual form, alone has the ability to enhance 
information transmitted to the tool. MTML tends to be construct library dependent, 
this HUML seems capable of conditional information with respects to the demands 
of the experiment utilizing the tool's data. 

Note: I'm developing a charting program that has a volunteer component in the 
application that allows a user to send telemetry back to a depository, for the use 
as a research tool. Obviously, there are disclosure requirements to be maintained 
by this feature, and a limited form of information could only be included, being that 
it is a charting program for tracking psychological assessment and progress.

Best regards,

Mark
