Very true. As long as what your program emits is sensible and accurately 
represents the data that was input, it is acceptable. In fact, Florian 
Gross just mentioned that his will even output YAML. :) Most of the fun 
(for me, anyway) was just getting something that would read GEDCOM. The 
rest was icing, as they say.
