I rev-engineered the format in perl a little while back, by examining valid 
sample input files, and it was a bit of a pain.  If you do that in Perl, I 
recommend you don't use XML::Simple, since that treats attributes as equivalent 
to, I believe, embedded tags.  Classic Dart can't mix these.  I would wait for 
Dan's documentation on the internal format, myself, and use that.

I'm also interested in seeing this format, as it might still be useful to see.

Don't anthropomorphize computers.  They don't like it.
