That's what we're working on now. Get the file formats finalized (XML
DTDs), throw them up on the web, and then anyone can use them, which would
hopefully make it possible for say, The Shop to export according to the
DTD, and then a character generator could import that vehicle so you can
add it to a character, for example.
