Dale,

 DR> Tonight I am going to start defining fidomsg.xml. Next I am going for
 DR> fidopkt.xml.

Sorry for this late reply - I've been very busy outside Fido for a while.
Working full time++ and I'm also in the progress of moving to a new
apartment...

If you like you could take a look at "http://pkt3.darktech.org/".
Maybe you can use some of the ideas?

Micael Bülow also has a "proof-of-concept" implementation of a
Fido WWW -interface at "http://bulow.nu/fidonet/ifbb/". Mostly
Swedish/Nordic areas but I think you'll get the idea.

I believe it uses a MS SQL server back end and a PKT<-- XML converter to
get it in and out of the DB.

Further more, I have a home cooked Java/SQL Fido system that can import and
export messages in both Type 2+ and XML. It currently uses the format on
the web site listed above. It's not production quality yet but it's proof
that it can be done. :-)
