Hi,

For the sake of diffability in GIT it would be great to have some non-binary
but text based .gorm serialization format.
I know that .xibs exist in that role for .nibs, so why not do exactly the same
with .xorms for .gorms?
Greg said once that he has .xib reading ready but .xib writing would be much
more difficult because we had to reverse engineer how to write those.
I now propose that we reuse the same basic format of xibs (XML with certain
keys) to write .xorms instead of .gorms with the only difference that here
GNUstep defines what belongs how into a .xorm.
binary files are fast, but are hateful that they work bad with
GIT/SVN/CVS... since you always have a "conflict" even fro trivial changes.
I wonder if you think something that can be "compiled" like xibs?
Or instead more like "text format" NIBs that was introduced back then,
where one could choose binary over text.
