You'd be surprised ;) With what my mind started coming up with, It might be
quite fun :D I was thinking about using a validating XML parser, and XSLT to
do the transformations. Which will require a few perl/syslibs to work. This
way you don't need to bother with "plugins" or hardcode the output
formatters.
But because of that lib req, I have a feeling It might not be accepted.
And I just read it again, I was getting ahead of myself, and thought you meant
doing the xml -> [txt,html,etc] formats as well :o But if I get bored enough
I can easily throw together a ._tx -> .xml script.

Ditto. I suspect its differences in the drivers, or possibly the way the cards
handle things?
