Hi Adam,

I'll be using STML and the compact syntax with the open source 
SignText.  These standards should allow other applications to easily 
integrate SignText.
 
What do you want to do with STML?  I will be making a download STML 
button to go along with the SignText documents in SignPuddle 1.5, but 
it's not ready yet.
 
Regards,
-Steve
