I did this once, for BBDB ~1.51 or thereabouts. It's not at all
polished (and it's not clear I got the document structure perfect),
but it may be a starting point. I modelled it on bbdb-print, hence
it's called bbdb-xml-print; I managed to use it with a DSSSL
stylesheet and Jade for pretty paper output, though I'm not sure I
still have the stylesheet now.
Here it is, with the usual caveats and zero support. If you manage to
make something of it, I'd like to hear about it (on the list, unless
people object).
