[edit] GUIs
XDXF file format is used by Atlantida, WiseDict, mDictionary on Maemo and MeeGo platform, SimpleDict and Stardict fork. Stardict starting with version 2.4.6 has basic support for XDXF.
[edit] Converters
Project has converters from DSL and Atlantida formats, and a "many to many" converter tool makedict.
[edit] Alternatives
The dicML markup languages serve a similar purpose. Currently, neither concept is specified completely. For example, XDXF lacks elements to annotate possible hyphenations, while the recent working draft of dicML does not include elements to describe the etymology of words.
