[XML-SIG] xbel.

[Dave Pawson]

I'm in a m$ environment.

After using html tidy, 
  -config file is:
write-back:yes
indent: auto
indent-spaces: 3
wrap: 72
markup: yes
clean:yes
drop-empty-paras:yes
enclose-text: yes
output-xml: yes
input-xml: no
add-xml-pi: yes
add-xml-decl:yes
show-warnings: yes
numeric-entities: yes
quote-marks: yes
quote-nbsp: yes
quote-ampersand: no
break-before-br: no
uppercase-tags: no
uppercase-attributes: no
char-encoding: latin1
show-warnings: no
err-file: errs

an ie bookmark file produces valid xml to xbel
with the stylesheet below.
 I guess you have a stylesheet, xbel to html?
