You have misunderstood. Neither Randy (primary author of the ARM and
arm_form Ada code), nor me (author of texinfo portion of arm_form Ada
code) have said we will _do_ the XML export. We have said it would be
good to have.

The best way to develop such a converter is to start with the arm_form
code; it already has the lexical parser, and most of the semantic parser
that you need.
