I knew the export existed, but my understanding was that it was
ill-formed as in truncated since it didn't have a close tag on the
outermost XML tag.  So I thought that the data was incomplete and thus
the dump was mostly useless.

Martin got another dump, and I asked if it contained all the data but
just with a bad format, and he said he wasn't sure.  That's why I was
still planning on possibly writing a scraper if we didn't validate
that the dump had all the tracker items.

I'll reply to this in the other email you sent.
