Hi,

I wanted to ask if there's a particular reason why KiCAD  uses its own
file formats. Why KiCAD doesn't simply use for example XML?

Also I wanted to ask if there's any plan to add support for using
white spaces in the name of schematic symbols or footprints.
I think the problem of not supporting white spaces in names is because
of using the white space as a seperator in the library files.

Thanks
Nils Hesse
