You're absolutely right. That's the big deal : create a basic service 
which manage the file upload, indexation and record in the DAM database. 
And for each game replay, provide a specific service which reads 
metadata in the file.

Not all of course, specially for old games as starcraft. But AoM, AoE3, 
Rise of Nations, EmpireEarth2, Warcraft3 include an xml metadata part in 
their replays. In fact, the aim is not to have a generic xml reader, but 
to have a common service with specific readers, as i explain above. It 
will also be able, in the same manner, to manage games maps which are 
very important for a lot of games (Warcraft3, Blitzkrieg, SuddenStrike 
and other WWII games)
