The IPR information sits in the ietf database, and the current IPR pages
are dynamically generated.  However, it sounds like a marvellous idea for
the Philly Code Sprint to provide the information in the database in a
format which would be more easily accessible.

I've done some work on a table-format prototype,
  (http://merlot.tools.ietf.org:31415/ipr/list-specific/)
but for your purpose XML or CSV would maybe be better?  Would you like to
propose a format?
