Would it be so bad to use the .xml extension? The context of these files might be enough to identify them without a funky file extension.
.xml is probably already associated with a text (or sometimes even a specialised xml) editor and by using .xml there will be no need to educate other applicatins about this new format.
Well, I don't think we've ever really intended for other applications to use this format. Another thing that it saves us is actually having to look at files and detect what they are. Now we're pretty much assuming that an 'inkmod' file is a module definition - a .xml file would probably require more validation and checking. I don't know that we really gain anything by having other applications understand this format.
