A standard file format is proposed to store process and event information,
primarily output from parton-level event generators for further use by
general-purpose ones. The information content is identical with what was
already defined by the Les Houches Accord five years ago, but then in terms of
Fortran commonblocks. This information is embedded in a minimal XML-style
structure, for clarity and to simplify parsing.
