Dear list,

Has anybody come across a way to read-in a tree in the "ToL Response Format"
or in treeML format--both XML formats?  I should be more specific: by
read-in I mean convert into some useful R class (e.g. ape's phylo).  Forgive
me if I have missed an obvious function in one of the many packages.

Here are two example outputs that I would like to be able to use:
ToL Response Format
http://tolweb.org/onlinecontributors/app?service=external&page=xml/TreeStructureService&node_id=26391&optype=0

treeML
http://tolweb.org/onlinecontributors/app?service=external&page=xml/TreeStructureService&node_id=26391&optype=1

If no function exists, I could imagine using scan() and then somehow
converting the XML to a Newick format, or perhaps an "edge" matrix as used
by phylo?  There is probably a more elegant method!

All suggestions are most appreciated!  Thanks for the help--
Andy Rominger
