Simple it's a pseudo standard than define a file format to export game asset ( 3d-model/textures/.... ) between different tools/apps/middleware. The syntax is based on XLM, it probably took a whole week of work for a guy at Sony to come up with that.

Don't DISS.

LOL, you are evil ;).

I think there was more talk and discussion between all the co-developers than a single week's work ;).

Media assets - not game asset, this is aimed at all DCC industries.
Now the amazing part about is if they get companies making the tools to agree on this - I've never seen them spend much effort to be compatible with one another before, rather the opposite.

Anyway this has much more paralels to certain aspects of XNA then "OpenGl ES" ever did :p
