Because it has already been invented... It's called XML ;)
and the tool to help you is XSLT.
If the Survey was stored in a XML document, you could easily
export it to whatever format by writing an XSLT document, 
describing what the resulting document should look like
when it has been processed with a XSLT Processor (such as
Xalan).

However - to my knowledge, only Xerces has been ported to
BeOS?
