XML Schema for Theatrical Scripts? 14

skunkeh asks: "I was recently discussing innovative uses for IRC bots with a friend and we came up with the idea of using bots for theatrical performances, with different bots taking on different roles and outputting a pre-defined script to a moderated IRC channel. The obvious solution for inputing scripts to the bots would be using XML - is anyone aware of an XML standard for play scripts or would we need to create our own?" Bots doing Shakesspeare? Hrmm....OK, after that image, this is the last time I post Slashdot articles while drinking Bawls.

    Thats pretty cool. He just has to figure out a way to "direct" the bots. The dialog should flow slowly for somethings and fast for other things ( like arguments ), so he should have delays between lines. Perhaps even have the bots enter / leave the channel at certain times, and even kick themselves out of the channel when they are fighting.

    You know you've been on IRC way to long when your thinking about Shakespeare on IRC :)
