Whatever the syntax / parser / storage mechanism - be that sql, xml, yaml,
json, sgml, csv, tsv, gschem, s-expr, P21 (one of the STEP
encodings)....... it is WHAT we store and how it is structured that matters.

Getting the data model right is almost completely independent of the rest -
even if some may work more elegantly than others.

Getting the data model right is also the hard bit - unfortunately.
