IMO, I can see --xml being useful for more "sophisticated" scripts that
utilize Perl, Python, or Ruby, however, for quick shell scripting, I can
see this being very difficult if not unusable.

Having the output print in set columns, though might wrap when printed on
<=80 char terminals, would make it very easy to parse with awk.

Thanks,
Joe
