Hilaire, Bruno, I think this is a very important step.  This will give
us an example and some experience with converting data from a non-XML
program into EDUML, and also with converting a non-XML program into one
that uses EDUML as its data structure.  If I may, I'd like to advise
doing this in two steps: first, create the data-conversion code.  This
will both give us an example of how that can be done and define the
appropriate EDUML elements to use for Dr Geo data.  Second, convert Dr
Geo to save data directly in the previously-defined EDUML elements.  I
suspect that won't be a big problem; having the proper elements defined
will be most of it.
