Roland,

You should = consider borrowing some things that IP-Xact does in their = files:

1) Unique Identifiers split = into separate fields. Each IP-Xact file has a VLNV identifier with = Vendor name, Library name ,Component name and version. That is a good = start but we will need = more.

Only applicable to some = flows. The format should allow, but not demand such = things.

2) All file = references are given relative to the location of the xml file. This = solves the search path = problem.

That=92s certainly a = big change (not entirely crazy, though). Won=92t work with global = libraries, especially if you design on multiple machines. Good = application for Apple=92s new copy-on-write file = system.
