I have this some though a couple of years ago. Some of the attributes didn't=
 seem to map cleanly. I think the conversion would be possible once the fiel=
d map was figured out.
The date time and version representations in particular would need massaging=
.
Also I recall OVAL has some variations like remediation that go beyond what v=
uln.xml contains.
