I think you can use kvtml, however it might not be optimal for your needs. I
would, like I'm sure you would, have designed kvtml differently. It currently
relies heavily on attributes instead of elements, which IMHO is a bad idea.
Nevertheless, kvtml supports an attribute for description (your <desc>). For
the <refitem> you can probably use the support for lessons or perhaps word
categories.
The only thing really missing in kvtml are tags for images and sounds,
something I hope we can add for KDE4. Having tags for online dictionaries is
also an interesting idea.
I think it would be unfortunate if we introduce a completely new file format
for flashcard-like information.
Thanks,
Peter
