| I am probably (one of?) the requestor(s) here. I'd like to explain the why.
It's to allow the stuff, the Csound orchestra/score, to
be embedded in XML containing other data as well (algorithmic composition
code, VRML elements, song lyrics, whatever). It saves the program using
Csound the work of separating the Csound element from the other elements
before running Csound.

Subject: .csd file format
I have a request that the .csd file format should ignore all text
until the starting and all text after the
. How would this affect people? Not too
difficult to code but I am not sure if it will break some use, or
whatever.
I am suggesting until the tag all text is ignored,
unless it is a tag like , , or
. After a until the
tag additional unrecognised lines and tags would
be treated as a soft error.
