A problem hopefully addressed by any such cool instrument as it downloads
its data to your home machine or your PDA you brought with you into the
backcountry that has extra storage. I can daydream of a Mach2005Turbo+XML
which is some supercool extended version of CaveXML which might have
extended tags for checksums and a record of instruments settings. Where
would such things go? Somewhere in the "raw" data of course.
Issues for CaveXML? I guess just a place to put misc. instrument
information is all that is needed even for this futuristic use.
