Explanation/interpretation of PGPwde.exe's XML output?

    All,

    I'm using PGPwde.exe's "--status --xml" output for an automated status check and everything is working great so far, but I need some assistance determining exactly which fields map to the information displayed in the non-XML version of the --status output. The final comment on another discussion outlines the problem pretty well: http://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/pgp-registry-entry-encrypted-disks

    It's pretty clear that "Disk0 is instrumented by bootguard" maps to "<id>0</id><instrumented>true</instrumented>". Other lines are similarly clear, but the simple statement "Drive encrypyted" does not seem to have an analog in the XML output, being instead an evaluation of a few other fields (as outlined by the last comment on the discussion linked above). Is there anywhere (or anyone) that can outline what the various options are and what they mean?

    Thanks.

    - John
