Changing Subjects: IFML




Anyone familiar or have opinions on:

 Interactive Fiction Markup Language
 http://ifml.sourceforge.net/

It's an XML dialect for marking up interactive fiction. It seems like a dead project (last update 2002), the parser is in Java, not something I know anything about, and the XML is kinda "naive" (ie., telling the user to use [p] instead of <p> within a CDATA, etc.).

Have there been any other attempts at something like this? I found this along the way while investing QML, a Choose-your-own-Adventure dialect:

I know the new Erasmatron's Deikto is going to be XML-based too.

Thoughts, comments, other examples?
