There is a philosophical difference between XML and HTML - the first is to represent / store information with no thought to how it is displayed. HTML involves content and display, but the emphasis is on presentation. Constructs involved in presentation change more rapidly than the constructs involved in the former.

So what makes sense is to dump the data from VistA in XML, and then to post process to HTML for presentation/viewing. But that data in XML could be imported into another EHR system, which would be much harder to do with an HTML file.

That's a good idea, but off track from what I want.
When I dump the file to html, I want it to be able to
go to a disk that a patient could take with them
somewhere.  Then someone could view the record from
the disk with a web browser.
