I don't think my code always does a flat OPML... only if the original
XOXO was flat...  I'll look into processing XOXO that has relative
URLs

excellent! looking at the code, we pretty much arrived at the same
thing - what license do you plan on releasing this as? and when you
finish you should add it to the Implementations list on the Wiki.

what i'd really like is to find out, via Lazy Web, what and if any,
New Readers can accept XOXO straight and/or which properly import the
XOXO2OPML.xsl output.

I also had a look at the NING implimentation and they mostly do the
same thing, except it is a flat OPML, no nested <outline> and they
don't manage to create Absolute URLs from any @href, but they do take
input/output to various formats. Does anyone know who wrote that and
under what license it is? and we "look under the hood" and see/improve
what it is doing?

thanks, Anyone else know of any links/services?
