GuideXML would not be an appropriate format in any case. GuideXML is too 
bloated with presentation items to be of use for such a purpose. While 
one could argue for an xml source version, it would certainly not be 
guidexml. This is also not necessary as it is possible to easilly apply 
double transformations by first transforming a file into guidexml and 
then into html. Look at the herds.xml file or projectxml for an example 
of this.
