Just some brainstorming....

how about <answer type="area"> or <answer type="vector">?  Maybe this 
would simplify things?


>I guess if I really want to go for the XML route it should be:
><circle>
>  <x>250</x>
>  <y>250</y>
>  <radius>15</radius>
></circle>
>  
>

How about <circle x="250" y="250" radius ="15" />

For a vector we'd have something like:

<answer type="vector">
<circle x="250" y="250" radius ="15" name="mycircle" />
<rectangle x="0" y="100" name="myrectangle" />
<vector from="mycircle" to="myrectangle" />
</answer>

I know my style won't work for all of your example.  Just pick and 
choose what you think might work if you like it.  I was also wondering 
if <vector head="mycircle" tail="myrectangle" /> would be more appropriate.
