Re: [DNSOP] dnsxml - A standard XML representation of DNS data

I agree it's just "formats" and therefore it's just 'a simple bit of 
code', I tend to find the XML specifications get a bit heavy, and what I 
liked in Stephane's draft is that it has a very lightweight feel to it.

(I will mention that the IESG is looking for reviewers for 
draft-manderson-rdns-xml-01 in case anyone feels extra motivated to 
assist in this).
