I wrote this a few months ago, but haven't had time to look at since. YMMV :)

As most folks have some sort of Blogroll (hopefully marked-up with XFN and XOXO[1]). I have begun to look into easily converting those into OPML. I've only worked with OPML for a day now and it has left a sour taste in my mouth!!! So i never want to write OPML again, instead i want to write happy XOXO and build (if needed) OPML from that. I went and started in on an XSLT and web service[3] to convert any HTML page with XOXO into OPML. It isn't perfect, and makes use of the "Special Properties" section[2] of the XOXO spec - so if you find issues/errors/problems/ideas let me know. I have tested it on my own site*, but now i envoke the Power of Lazy Web! I am looking for Folks to do two things: 1) run their XOXO files through the web sevice and see if they get the expected OPML back 1a) which blog platform are you using (if any) 2) document which NewsReaders/OS correctly consume the OPML. 2a) does the RSS reader do 'auto-discovery'? meaning if i send it a link to the blog homepage, does it extract the RSS correctly from the HTML link? I have started a wiki page with a simple structure to let others add their information too[4].
