Re: Pandoc and OPML

[John MacFarlane <fiddlosopher-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>]

Looking at the spec, it seems quite simple.
http://dev.opml.org/spec2.html

But how would you suggest the various elements be converted to
pandoc?

Would the `<outline>` elements all become headers, and their
`text` attributes paragraphs under these headers?

What about custom elements, as in this example from Wikipedia?

    <outline text="Heart of Glass.mp3" type="song" f="Blondie - Heart of Glass.mp3"/>
    <outline text="Manic Monday.mp3" type="song" f="Bangles - Manic Monday.mp3"/>
    <outline text="Everybody Have Fun Tonight.mp3" type="song" f="Wang Chung - Everybody Have Fun Ton

What do we do with the "type" and "f" attributes?  The spec doesn't define
them; the spec just says any attributes are allowed in addition to "text".
(They could be ignored, I suppose.)
