That was mine.  The database is finished, at least, as finished as it can be
since chapters 10 & 11 of the SRD were taken down.  Now I'm working on an
XML schema for representing the data in the database, with some success.
Right now I'm focusing on using XPath to select, group, & sort the spell
list so I can recreate all the class spell lists and domain lists from the
same document that contains the descriptions.  If you're interested in that
discussion (an XML grammar for the d20 SRD) there is an eGroups mail list
called 'd20-xml'.  It's free to all who are interested.

I also built a table of keywords and then did a search of the spell body
texts with those keywords, and so now if you are curious "which spells
descriptions make references to hands?" you get Animal Friendship,
Etherealness, Plane Shift, Regenerate, and Reincarnate in addition to
Burning Hands.
