You're absolutely right about the needing to rework the standard. For XML
(OPML being XML at heart) the W3C reworked the CSS idea into XSL. So you use
XSL to format XML for display. Here's a good tutorial/introduction:

and here's an example using actual, bonafide OPML:

It will be best for viewing these links if you are using Win/IE 6, because
that's the only browser whose XSL know-how is up to spec.
