you found the wrong AAF, alas. i don't believe that this is a
coincidence, btw - i suspect Apple knew precisely what they were doing.
AAF is not the apple spec, its the "Advanced Authoring Format", an
industry standard. the new XML version is very new (not released yet)
but will be massively better than the existing one.

Just did. Anyone interested outside of Macintosh stuff?
I would like to see either a DTD or an easier to read outline of this thingie.
It has been around a few years now without much activity outside of a small
circle of friends it seems. Wonderfully, the linux audio opensource field has
become nicely
populated. Opensource means freedom of choice. One is not tied to that
$400 proprietary bloated DAW program. Comes jack and one can dissect the
functionality and network smaller pieces (if one's system can handle the
multiple processes). Trememdous freedom of choice.
Problem is: No DAW program, opensource or otherwize, interoperates with
any other. Cakewalk works with Cakewalk, Cubase with Cubase, Ardour with
Ardour, etc. Each has its strengths and each has its adherents. Never the
'twain do meet. (Lash is fine but the restriction remains.)
Proposal: OpenDAWS.
its actual name is AAF-XML. please google it.
