Hi Alex!

Thanks for your interest in Subsurface.  I just thought I'd clear up a 
little thing:  Subsurface utilize its own compact and human readable XML 
dive log format.

UDDF is not used internally, mostly because it's an overly engineered, 
unnecessarily complex and quite unreadable format.  We merely provide 
convenient UDDF import and export options via XSLT transforms.  These 
options might not be complete, but we are more than willing to improve 
them to support (a future version of) UDDF  better, if necessary.

I guess others have something to say about this and the rest of your 
email as well :)

Cheers,
Henrik
