I think this is the real question. Is this a format that can conceivably be used for real storage, or is it specifically designed to be as slow as possible to ease obscure interchange cases? If so, what, specifically, are those concrete interchange cases?

I'm not very interested in an interchange format that's not useful for actual work. Thus, my vote is for comma-separated, and I don't care about extra attributes (I can stuff per-triangle friction and whatnot in a separate element). I don't see XSLT transform as particularly relevant to the common-case use of these files.

If it's all interchange, then I don't care (though I still don't see XSLT transforms actually being used :-).

Cheers,
