Patrick,

I'm not super-familiar with SVN, but I think I created a branch under 
nmap-exp/dmiller/xml-output. If it worked, it should be up-to-date, but 
I'd appreciate instructions on keeping it up-to-date (with the trunk, 
that is. I can apply patches as I make commits easily enough).

Regarding verbosity, I think I'm handling it like NSE does currently: 
give script authors the ability to detect verbosity settings 
(nmap.verbosity(), nmap.debugging()) and adjust output accordingly. We 
could change it to tag output elements with a "verbosity score" and only 
display those below the current level, but that seems like a lot of work 
for not much benefit, considering that the current way has worked well 
so far.

Dan
