A cool way to do it would be to have a cut down 'in play' interface for use around the gaming table that would work for either phone or tablet-sized screens. Conversely, when you are initially designing the character something that takes advantage of a tablet's much larger screen would be handy. The GCA file format should really, really become the standard just to prevent everyone from going crazy.
The problem with the GCA format is that it was grown organically, meaning that it's quite messy. I need to check on GCS, but XML at lest seems to me that it will have a tighter structure.
