Very useful for human-readable, not so much for integration into other 
systems :).

We currently parse a lot of that using things like awk etc ... but 
thinking about it now, one could probably dig into the xml stuff 
directly, so use glsa-check -l to get the list, then find the xml files 
and query those using tools more suited for that.

Thank you :).
