Nah, as I said, TEI doesn't fit (and especially freedict's subset) Taruven very well (translation: I'd have to do a very deep analysis of TEIs dict-schemas to make something I'd actually use). What I have now (sh2xml + xslt -> whatever) is good enough. Shoebox utilities (has an sh2xml that makes better xml than the built-in export): http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=SHUtils-manual t.
