[Az-Geocaching] Another Download Format - XML

[Team Cache-Quest]

I hadn't noticed that the Easy and ExpertGPS is an XML format document. I
did see that the .loc file for EasyGPS is XML.  The problem is that the data
model for both of them is for the cache and both are incomplete (no
description).

I'm also interested in capturing all the data for the logs in XML format.
It should reference the cache and include the date, log type (found, not
found, ..) and actual text of the log entry.  The data model is really
fairly simple, but to be complete the text of the description and log entry
needs to be captured.  Without the text of the description and log I can't
do the things I'd like to. To really be complete they need to reference
attached graphics.

Thanks,
Jerry
