I love the idea. Obviously it would take some careful thought as far as a 
format that was easy to parse, easy to generate, easy to validate, and provided 
for the various advanced features that some people would want, like the 
conditional reponses. I can't see myself taking the lead on developing such a 
format, but maybe I could take the lead in developing an Emacs interface for it.
