 [http://www.xdmf.org/ XDMF] is an XML-based format for describing how
 associated HDF5 data is arranged.  This provides the information needed by
 visualisation programs to render the data, and the format is supported by
 both VisIt and ParaView.

 If Carpet could write out such a file in combination with its existing
 HDF5 output, VisIt and ParaView (at least) would be able to render Carpet
 data without having an additional plugin.  I don't know the relative
 efficiency of the existing Carpet VisIt plugin and the XDMF reader, and I
 don't know how well the XDMF VisIt reader handles mesh-refined data, so
 these things should be looked it.
