I first went from <RGB r="1" g="1" b="1"> to <RGB values="1 1 1"> simply because it was easier to deal with different color models the same way (you were talking about laziness ;-) ) Then, as I wanted to add 6CLR (and more), it didn't work anymore since an xml element can't start with a number and I thought it didn't make sense to reinvent color tags as this was already a widely accepted standard. So I chose to simplify to <values model="RGB">1 1 1</values> which makes it also easier to parse and extendable to less usual color models. For the rest (metadata, swatch organization) wich aren't in the create draft, I made some choices but I'm already reconsidering most of them...

So far, koffice/krita has a partial implementation of it (colors deserialization), mostly because I am lazy :/ So I would be interested to know why there are not much more implementations, lake of time ? lake of awarness ? missing features ? lazyness ? deep flaw in the spec ? </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
