Nope, just a gleam in my eye right now... I haven't really progressed beyond what's already been discussed on this list. I think my next step would be to put together an example and document some of the constraints, and put that out for people to look at. But this isn't high on my priority li

2007-08-30 Thread Martin Davis
Just for grins, I coded up a simple example of YAML for tabular geospatial data. Seems like this might be another direction to go in. YAML has solved a lot of the tricky little issues you get into when serializing data to a text format. The one thing they don't have AFAICS is a way of encod
