applescript for OPML export

The Omnishadow package (under extras on the Omnioutliner webpage) has  
tools to import/export Omni docs to/from ShadowPlan, a Palm outliner.  
I haven't used it, but I hear that the tools don't work with recent  
SP or OO. However, down in the folders of the package are xsl files  
to import/export OO files. I myself am sticking to working with the  
OPML output for XSLT-ing into SP (right now I just want headings and  
notes), but those xsl files in omnishadow are much more complete and  
deal with the OO format. Beware that I do not know if the OO DTD/ 
schema has changed since then.

One way or another, utility or education, you will find it helpful.
