Brian,

This looks good and seems to work for me.  This opens up some interesting
possibilities for putting together some XSL to transform it into any format
anyone wants.

One drawback is that it is based on AZGeocaching data, so it doesn't include
out of state finds (at least I didn't see any after a quick scan). That is
one of my most important requirements.  The AZGeocaching site is wonderful
from an AZ perspective, but is an incomplete picture from an individual
perspective.

The other thing I noticed is that the schema differs from the one used by
geocaching.com.  Using a schema consistent with geocaching.com, would allow
any transformations to be used against either source.

Please don't take these as critical comments.  This is nice work.

Thanks,
Jerry (Cache-Quest)
