I'm thinking SE5 should defintely have XML support for some areas. Writing a HTML parser for SE5 would be alot of work... but writing an XML parser : Aaron could make up his own rules. All that us websavvy designers would have to do is create a similar XML parser for use on the web, and the data planet data, weapons, news, etc. would be transparently portable.

Adding extra detail about planets, mini websites, news articles, sounds great!

What about an option to 'watch planet'... and at the end of each turn, a news article is generated and added to a news file specificly about that planet... but only for the planets you want to listen for news on.
