Here is a  sample log from jdivelog. xmllint --format is a must to get
anything out of it but I think it is better to provide it in pristine
format (originally it is not compressed).

Also, since I could never get jdivelog to work for me, if you have any

Some calculated information, like accumulated dive time and averages from
selected dives (depth, SAC, temp) would be nice. Some information that I
would like to have input fields for are: used equipment and weight
information.

Other than that it is mostly that jdivelog has more input fields on log
information (e.g. visibility, dive site is divided to country, city,
place). It's got also diagrams of dive statistics
(dives/year,divetime/year,country,...) and dive planning feature, exporting
dives to HTML along with photo information (I use other software for the
sorting and tagging of photos so haven't tested it on jdivelog).

 For some reason I like your fix for this one better than mine ;)
