[CREATE] SwatchBooker 0.5

[Olivier BERTEN]

There's a mix of different reasons, the least not being my lack of 
knowledge of XML and programming skills...

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...
