What can I say except yes - it it clearly way too complicated. Given it ignores one bit which is potenitally 20% of capacity I can't even see that it is ultra compact. But anyway we have gone from a hugley verbose but easy to use format to a very compressed and ultra difficult format. I think best to junk it and start again! At the very least give up on new versions until the documents are perfect and the sample application are usable. The only ones who are going to profit from all of this is the software vendors selling fast fix convertors. But sending data should not be that difficult. Anyone who says this stuff is not difficult tell me how many lines of code for a complete project... I am still writing and looks like months of work...
