yes but having not seen an non English version of GURPS I was assuming 
the didn't not covert the measurements with the traslations. ad was 
jusges that the DTD use the GURPS standards so that to did not need to 
worry about localized units in parsing it.

but I agree with Onno <tag>123456</tag> is better than 
<tag>1,234.56</tag> or <tag>1.234,56</tag> issues
