The real problem is, a decent format hasn't been devised. Nobody in
their right mind *wants* to use the noralujv.txt format for anything.

If someone would come up with an XML DTD/Schema/whatever for Lojban
definitional data, I'll write the exporter, and you'll have your data.

So far, nobody has been sufficiently interested.

The SQL schema is at: http://jbovlaste.lojban.org/design/jbovlaste.sql
