I'd like to conduct a straw poll of members on this list.

and that does make me question our (/my!) current proposal of multiple
formats with automatic conversion.


I'd like to conduct a poll of everyone on this list considering the 3
format
options:

- XML
- JSON
- TXT

Please can people reply to this post casting a single vote for their most
preferred of these three formats. I'll tabulate the responses. If there's a
clear winner, we should probably go with it alone. If there's a split, then
multiple format support as we're currently proposing may be the answer.


I'm going to start the counts with the clearly stated opinions which I've
seen to date (listed below). If I'm misrepresenting anyone, then please
also reply and I'll change your vote in my count.
