We are working on creating a new format for saving schematic. Your next
qucs-gui --> qucs-core netlist generator will be based on xlst.
This new format will be fully documented (at least using relax-ng schema with
a lot of comments).
I believe using XLST (only v1.0 due to lib problem) is the best option.
