Hmm. I think the technicality is that the financial information 
(starting with <OFX>, after the header) is formatted in SGML. But an OFX 
file consists of a header plus financial information. I don't know SGML 
at all, but I think that the ofx file header itself is not SGML. But 
that header is explicitly compliant with the OFX spec.

Not exactly, but I think I have a pdf of the 2.x ofx spec at home. I can 
email you a copy if you would like me to (provided I really did save it...)
