The XML Bookmark Exchange Language (XBEL)

The Python XML-SIG (http://www.python.org/sigs/xml-sig/) has developed a new XML document type for use as an Internet bookmark interchange format. The document type definition and documentation are available at:

http://www.python.org/topics/xml/xbel/.

XBEL supports the bookmarking capabilities of all major browsers. Demonstration conversion software is available to support Netscape Navigator, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and Opera. [The Grail browser will support XBEL directly in the next release.] Note 1999-04-13, 'the current version of Grail supports XBEL'.
