so far, we have:

BioDDS - (Chuck Miller) (spinning off to BDDS -> BDS -> BD -> D ->DELTA ->Jim Croft) BioDescML - (Chuck Miller) BioML - (Jim Croft) (taken - see xml.coverpages.org/bioml.html) BioTaxML - (Chuck Miller) CAML (Jim Croft) (taken - see http://www.vision.fhg.de/~veenhuis/CAML/) ExSDD - (Stan Blum) DescML - (Jim Croft) PanML (Nick Lander, who will undoubtedly pass the port to Richard Pankhurst) TDML - (Guillaume Rousse) TaxDescML - (Guillaume Rousse) xDELTA - (don't know who to give the port to for this one - maybe Mike Dallwitz) XSDD - (Bob Morris and Stan Blum)

Keep them coming. There hasn't been so much traffic on the list for years!
