Re: We need a standardized XML format for hand histories.
I agree, and would even be willing to help, but I'm not sure you can count on any buy in from poker sites.
What might work best is an open xml spec that 3rd party developers could use directly, along with a library of conversion routines to convert proprietary hand histories into the xml format.
bisonbison takes an approach like this in his hand convertor. He first converts the HH to a standard format and then processes that. I don't know what PT does, but I'm pretty sure the authoer is on 2+2, maybe (hopefully) he'll comment.
