That is good to know, looks like a nice project.
I am interested in a command line solution, since ultimately it would
be nice if the tools we provide could take anything we throw at them.
I have been dissecting the tool that I mentioned, and it looks like
the XSLT they provide is a good conversion solution. All that is left
to do is some python/shell glue.
Cheers,
Eitan.
