Hi Juergen - There's no existing XML import - I'm no XML expert and I wasn't sure how to interpret a file generally enough. Maybe you can give some examples of what a data file might look like in structure? I assume the Python or Qt XML libraries would be a good way of reading the file. The import can be added either as an "Import plugin" - quite easy to write - see the Veusz wiki, or natively (like CSV and FITS).
