You can use the "XML declarative toolset (with types, and with support for static and runtime type checking)" to define data formats, via a grammar specification. L stands for Language, and there is more to it than bracketted words looking like "syntax clutter". SCNR. Would anyone want to use C-OS? -- Georg
