After some reading and a bit of thought I know that XML is the way to go. However there's the usual bit of Java ugliness to cope with.
Java is HUGE, you can do almost anything that you want to do [except, perhaps, print]. So it's often difficult to find the actual bits & pieces, the nubbins, that you want to use. Do I want a SAX parser, or a native one?
I've printed-off many, many, pages of crap, which I'll read tonight. Tomorrow I'll write the code. By Sunday I should have somethiong that half-works.

Then I'll write the test-suite.
I am so not-better.
