What about using BMessages which are really handy and to create a small app
which reads up flattended BMessage and permit to edit their content ? That
would be good for everyone: handy, human-readable, can be used to be sent
(well...a BMessage...). All there would be left to do for preflets would be to
say the lists of fields flattened BMessages contains. Not a hard work! Moreover
we can use simple listing of fields which can be red by the app (one line = one
name of field, the app build up the list of fields and permit to edit
them....very very easy!)
my 2 cents,
