It seems to me as well structured format, designed to cover all aspects
of DVB. We can adopt the same.

If unified multimedia viewer/zapping application could parse some
(even a simple) subset of XML, we could completely avoid libraries and C 
programming and call XSLT transformation from the shell,
xsltproc transformation.xsl si.xml > channels.xml 
(a XML transformation file is typically just few KB long)
(from C you can use system("xsltproc.."); that will bring a complex
XML format into the simple XML subset parseable by the simple C
consctructs. 
dont worry it's fast to convert even a 1MB of transponder
data in XML into the XML channels cubset in less than a second!
