Uhm, yes. The point is that I want to classify vulnerabilities, so that users can filter the information they get to a certain extend. I don't think the classification should go into an extra file, since many vulnerability databases have classifications. I know that such a feature has a high degree of subjectivity, but I think it is useful when some vulnerabilities just can "stand out", for example 616cf823-f48b-11d8-9837-000c41e2cdad is pretty insignificant. I think I said all this before. I'm not exactly sure what this list is good for, since I keep discussing this stuff with you only, so I want to move this to a place where we can get some more feedback, like "yes, this will be a useful feature" or "no, we don't need that" from someone else besides you and me. Discussing this with people interested in the VuXML format seems like a waste of time, I want to discuss this with people _using_ the data, and the format just has to serve their needs. -Oliver
