Personally I am a fan of plain text approach myself. However, in the event that XML is the way to go, I would suggest that emerge contain the ability to show that ChangeLog in plaintext with an argument.

I could do something like "emerge --changelog gaim" and this would just show me the ChangeLog in plain text. My $0.02 -- Weeve Gentoo/Sparc Team Lead -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
