Heh :-)

There some logic behind it ... basically, anything that doesn't need
to change once it's on the server is rendered by the client and
uploaded.

Anything that needs to be more dynamic is done on the server.  In this
case, your OPML could be generated by the client but the HTML had to
be done by the server.

It shouldn't be too hard.  All you need to do is:

- fetch the OPML file (check authentication, validate filename, read file)
- parse OPML into a tree
- figure out which branch to display
- display branch, putting in links as required
