What information are you looking to extract from the mzData?  Being  
XML mzData files are already text (albeit structured text).  Trying  
to make a more plain text format which kept all of the information in  
the original file would end up being a mess.

We've written an opensource mzData viewer which parses the XML files  
and extracts out the core data.  Maybe some of the classes in there  
would help you get started? Adding a text output to it wouldn't be  
hard.  You can find it at: http://www.bioinformatics.bbsrc.ac.uk/
