I agree with you that we shouldn't mangle CXS to make it computer-readable at the expense of human-readability. I'd also like to point out that I'm using a computer program (in part written by Henrik; thank you!) to translate back and forth between CXS and IPA on my dictionary page. If CXS were too difficult to decode by machine, I wouldn't be able to have the IPA on my page. -- AA (watch the Reply-To!)
