I'm in the middle of doing this, myself.
Assuming you're using Linux, if you go to the command line and type:
mysqldump -X --password='YOUR_PASSWORD' DATABASE_NAME >XML_FILE.xml
...you'll get an XML data file in the format:
<database name="DATABASE_NAME">
<table name="TABLE_NAME>
<row>
<field name="FIELD_NAME">FIELD_DATA</field>
...more fields...
</row>
...more rows...
</table>
...more tables...
</database>
I have some XSLT files designed to strip out data from that
format. Drop me a private email if you'd like them, and I'll ship them off.
I haven't done any work to format them yet.
