    However, the modelling languages have big *semantic* differences. This means
    that a translation is not possible without conversion. And for some features
    it is not even possible to make a conversion at all, unless the software
    vendors add features not yet supported on a given platform. [It is easy to
    create a long list of critical features that fall into this category]

    How do you plan / envision solving this problem?


How about the following as a start?  Different languages that additional 
information to accompany the equations of variables can add additional 
elements to <var>.  Also since type is just a string, you can include 
additional variable types without changing the save file specification. 
Also, newer versions of the specification can be implemented and 
versioned by changing the markup attribute.

yours,
Bobby Powers
