Am I misunderstanding something? Why use a different format?

This Add-on's prototype is very old, it was created at a time of xbmc ver.9.04.
And this time, mkv was not so much major.
The purpose is to operate outside of kodi.
It's purpose is to use a file that does not have the chapter.(avi,ts,mpg,etc.)
Without mux.
The use of mkv that have chapter is not considered.
Near future (kodi ver.15 ??), file with chapter (mkv, dvd, bru-ray, etc) would be a possible inside of kodi.

About a format.(xml format)
Add-on used Custom xml format. Because title2 and thumbnail are not included in mkv.

PHP Code:

<chapters>
    <chapter mark="00:28:49" title="Chapter 9" title2="Description for chapter 9" thumb="image9.jpg" />
</chapters>
