:) The METAR parser I wrote wasn't very user friendly. That's why I was excited when the XML came out. I guess I could rewrite my parser with regex and make it more bulletproof.
I might just do that as a side project. Pass my function a METAR and get a structure with the current observations.

I did always want to do a METAR parser in CF tho....
