Correct, and that is what I had in mind too. The <unit> and
<description> parts are common to all output formats.

As the XML snippet from my previous email shows…

 1) The <options> node will probably need to change by adding a format
    attribute. That way we can have “options” per output format.

 2) The <package> node will need to change, or at least some attributes
    will have to move to a different location in the XML. Currently
    there is only one “output” attribute value. The problem with that
    is that value changes for different output formats.
    For example: IPF and CHM specifies a file with different extension,
    HTML specifies a directory path etc.

I would prefer a single xml project file if you don't mind. It will be
much easier to manage and edit.
