That should be fairly easy to do by means of an xslt stylesheet.  I do 
not know of any, but that is the way I would do it.  This has actually 
been the subject of a homework assignment - see

OPLM is not a particularly well-designed format, so I would not 
recommend it unless you plan to use it with some system that requires it 
(which it seems you do).
