	OPML is barely a format really, it doesn't standardize much so 
ebvery app can interpret a lot of thigns differently. A lot of us pushed 
the lad 'designing it' to make osm echanges but he was forever pushing 
back, insisting on keeping it simple to make it easier to spread (which is 
tru eon the one hand, and false o nthe other.. easy to spread badly is one 
thing, but I prefer t ospread it with a useful spec ;) But hes the expert.

	I do think he made some changes to the spec later to try and keep 
it in line, but I forget offhand.

	It should not be too hard to make yourself an export-template that 
is OPML (the type of OPML your application expects to get anyway).. did 
you try that?

	I have always meant to add somethign like that.. if someone has a 
good solid canonicle OPML template I could code it up pretty easily 
really.
