lat,long,name or long,lat,name? and why do you prefer one over the

Just my opinion: when people talk about co-ordinates, they normally talk
about Lat and Long (almost never Long and Lat), so they should probably
be in that order! I'd say gpsbabel has it right, and your other software
is swimming against the tide.
The advantage of XML formats as opposed to CSV, is that they specify
that each point is either <lat></lat> or <long></long> so there is no
ambiguity.
