Re: NITF XML feeds

As it turns out I am finding it on more sites than expected using 
NITF instead of RSS. It seems NZ Herald, AFP and several others so 
far I found using NITF.

>'If NITF XML is actually XML'.  

The file below is one headline and shows XML 1.0. They tell me it is 
NITF 2.5 XML.  Each headline is an xml file.

I was hoping there was some script out there already written. XSLT 
and xlstproc are all new to me.
