<section title='Data Format'>
<section title='Introduction'>
<t>The IPFC data format is based on XML. This offers the advantage that we can use 
standard parsers and tools to process information from the XML files.
Another advantage of XML is the possibility to be backward compatible in the expression of the document, 
by carefully choosing the used tags. The last but not least, we are independant 
against any machine architecture or binary representation.</t>
