The trouble is "arcade" is difficult to define.
Think about gambling machines. Should it include gambling machines from regions where they're legal in "arcades" (e.g. UK)? What about gambling machines from regions where they're illegal in arcades and aren't found there (e.g. Australia)? What about gambling machines from regions where they widely illegally operated in arcades (e.g. Italy)?
Also, pinball machines designed for public use would get grouped under "arcade" but that probably isn't what a lot of front-end users actually want.
Would you include note changing machines? They typically show up in arcades. But then the complementary machine, a coin counting machine that delivers a receipt or an upchanging machine that counts coins and gives notes, are usually found in banks, not arcades.
If anything does show up in the XML, it won't be an "is arcade game" flag, because that's too problematic to define.
