The structure is still being considered.. that's the tricky bit.  If we knew 
how to arrange the data we'd be writing code right now.

    <node number="309" foo="bar">
        <comment />and so on and so forth...

</hub>


That's just two possible ways of listing the same node (60 and 100 have the 
same data, except their name) - using attributes of an element (name= sysop= 
flags= etc), and using sub-elements (<name> <flags> etc), and just one way of 
nesting the addressing structure (Nodes as sub elements of a Hub, rather than 
as attributes of the nodes).
