Outlines in XML (repost)

["Dave Winer" <dave@userland.com>]

(Please forgive the double-post. Outlook Express has a weird keystroke combo
that means Send This Email Now. It sent it before it was ready. This really
sucks. Onward.)

Dear Syndicators,

Last night we released two new verbs to Frontier users and developers.

They are op.outlineToXml and op.xmlToOutline.

http://docserver.userland.com/op/outlineToXml

http://docserver.userland.com/op/xmlToOutline

("op" stands for "outline processor".)

These verbs serialize and de-serialize outlines, in a new XML format called
outlineDocument.

It's also the (new) format we're using to serialize Scripting News, as an
experiment.
