I find it hard to give up the basic Pd principle that everything may be controlled with messages. I wonder, if there is any real technical reason for abandoning message-based handling of object state (including visual properties, IDs, whatever), apart from the shortcomings of the current Pd type system -- mainly, the lack of a string type?
Exactly. This is what I should have said when I asked the question "Why?".
i think we are not talking about replacing the pd-format with an XML-format (we can talk about this later)
but i think that there is a need for a human-readable file-format (which could be an addition, either built-in or as an external)
