There's a mix of different reasons, the least not being my lack of
knowledge of XML and programming skills...
I first went from <RGB r="1" g="1" b="1"> to <RGB values="1 1 1"> simply
because it was easier to deal with different color models the same way
(you were talking about laziness ;-) )
Then, as I wanted to add 6CLR (and more), it didn't work anymore since
an xml element can't start with a number and I thought it didn't make
sense to reinvent color tags as this was already a widely accepted
standard. So I chose to simplify to <values model="RGB">1 1 1</values>
which makes it also easier to parse and extendable to less usual color
models.
For the rest (metadata, swatch organization) wich aren't in the create
draft, I made some choices but I'm already reconsidering most of them...

Well... I started 2 years ago with the CREATE format

nor did it leave his "draft" status since then, I slowly got to have my
own format.
By the way, as you can see from the version number, it's a very early
version that's certainly going to change before version 1.0 and it also
might get closer to CREATE format once it gets his "standard" status ;-)
Well, the point of my question was to try to work on getting the create format
have the features that are needed by people to start using it. So far,
koffice/krita has a partial implementation of it (colors deserialization),
mostly because I am lazy :/ So I would be interested to know why there are not
much more implementations, lake of time ? lake of awarness ? missing features
? lazyness ? deep flaw in the spec ?
