Not very OpenSource, like the OP requested ;-)



There are actually many tools that can do this, and even XSLT 2.0 can read 
in a text document to transform into XML. I believe there are a bunch of 
tutorials online explaining how to do this, though don't know of any off 
hand that can. xmlLinguist (at http://www.sysonyx.com/products/xmllinguist) 
is a tool I work with that can translate a structured text document (i.e. a 
*.CSV) into XML if you don't want to go through XSL. It can be a cost 
effective solution at $80 for the designer, free for the runtime engine. 
Designed more for EDI documents, it can do CSVs easily enough.

Does any one know a good converter?
