Yes, it is dual-use.  Client programs (such as gmfsk) could also request 
log data...a simple query could do a dup/worked-before check and 
populate the data fields in gmfsk, with the xml result.  The log engine 
would return the xml and gmfsk would parse it.  For the web browser use, 
the xslt would transform the result into html for web display, and the 
log engine doesn't need to have any code change at all, just a template 
file somewhere.
