Subject: [SG2] Element Description Format - draft 0.5 - RFC

The things in its favour are:

compactness

the things not in its favour are:
 
terrible usability
not in keeping with the existing standard GZF

I would not use it in any area where people have to
read it on-line or paper due to its hopeless usability. 
So as a human readable format it fails.

For a PBEM format it would work for an automated system
only, but why not use an existing standard rather than invent 
a new one, bevity in an automated system is not a requirement, 
ease of implementation is.
