I think what I am hoping will come out of this is a flexible file format covering possible timed [text] events across all realisable media formats. The implementation (ie translation) from that format to proprietary formats can be done using XSL as I am doing now. So we just need the most flexible XML format possible to be defined, one which can be extended for future unforseen developments. Let the stylesheets handle conversion. Practically, I wonder if this talk of streaming implies an eventual *requirement* for an event based parser rather than a DOM solution for specific schema translations? [Thinking about it event based would seem to be an obvious direction LOL].
