That would be great! Both formats are not complex at all, so it really 
should be easy for someone with decent XML/XSLT knowledge. I'm just 
beginner, so it would be a challenge for me :-P.

The NZB structure is described at 
http://docs.newzbin.com/index.php/Newzbin:NZB_Specs
The queue.xml structure is described at page 130 of BNR Advanced User's 
Guide ( http://www.bnr2.org/BNRAdvancedUsersGuide(beta14.0).pdf )

Since the queue.xml contains also some info about used servers, it won't be 
possible to convert just and only the NZB data, but it will require some 
sort of "external input" as well. But that can be sorted out by either 
command line parameters, or by reading this info from an external 
configuration file.
Either way, I believe it will be still quite easy task... and a very nice 
step towards BNR (semi)automation.

After all, the same thing can be then implemented directly in BNR and make 
it read NZBs from command line.
