Hi. Welcome. We're glad you're here.
I think most of your questions are addressed here:
http://familysearch.github.com/gedcomx//2012/07/03/file-format-jeers-cheers.html
If you'd like to weigh in on making adjustments to those decisions, please leave your comments at #183, #184, and #185 as appropriate.
I have a built a gedcomx file using the gedcom converter. I understand how the individual elements are saved as separate files and placed into appropriate folders. What I don't understand is why this project created the XML this way.
My day job is a developer in a corporate (insurance) IT shop. I work with an XML standard, ACORD which was developed by the insurance industry. Based on my experience I would have expected one file starting with a tag, ending with and all the other tags in between.
I do not mean this as criticism. I just would like to know the reasoning behind the decision. A list of issues where this was discussed or other documentation would be great.
