Certainly worth gathering examples. For my boys' wordlists, I wrote a
scraper that went to merriam-webster, looked up a list of words, and
created a XOXO approximation from their markup:
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="400" border="0">
<tr>
<td align="left">
One entry found for <b>impostor</b>.<form name="entry" method=post
action="/cgi-bin/dictionary"><table border="0" cellpadding="0"
cellspacing="0" valign="top"><tr><td>
<input type=hidden name=hdwd value="impostor"><input type=hidden
name=listword value="imposter"><input type=hidden name=book
value=Dictionary></td></tr></table>
</form>
Main Entry: <b>im·pos·tor</b> <a
href="javascript:popWin('/cgi-bin/audio.pl?
impost02.wav=impostor')"><img src="/images/audio.gif" border=0
height=11 width=16></a><br>
Variant(s): <i>or</i> <b>im·pos·ter</b> <a
href="javascript:popWin('/cgi-bin/audio.pl?
impost02.wav=imposter')"><img src="/images/audio.gif" border=0
height=11 width=16></a> /<tt>im-'päs-t&r</tt>/<br>
Function: <i>noun</i><br>
Etymology: Late Latin <i>impostor, </i>from Latin <i>imponere</i><br>
<b>:</b> one that assumes false identity or title for the purpose of
deception
</td>
<td><img src="/images/pixt.gif" alt="" width="10" height="1"
border="0"></td>
</tr>
</table>
to something cleaner, eg

Needs more work (the 3rd layer senses should be a sub-list too, and the
markup could be way more semantic, and converting their home-made
phonetics to IPA would be nice).
