Hi,
I would like to stress the fact that OFX is not "a" version of XML neither
it is XML compliant at this time.
The "problem" with OFX is that is does not enforce closing of every single
tag. Even some client parsers (most notably Quicken) bark on finding these.
I am in the stage of assembling information on how to parse these files,
probably with the html part of expat or libhtml, which I translated to PHP
for the server part (quicken-ofx-server, download site is currently unavailable).
some links
http://services.eurobench.nl/quicken/quicken.php
for requests(==server)
http://services.eurobench.nl/quicken/post.php
form to easily post you scripts to the server (have to check if
I still allow this)

We haven't made any progress in supporting OFX. The next stable
version (1.6.0) will be using XML for the native gnucash format,
so a parser is already available (gnome-xml).
If you would like to work on an OFX importer, that would be great.
The OFX specification is available online:
