  I need to implement two things there: Information retriever and
definitions generator.

  I plan to implement information retriever as oval.secTracker python module
and use them with existent oval.definition.generator

  It is good to code reuse and save parse-dsa-oval.py from grown complexity.

  But i not planed to work on it now. I have more important part to
implement - tests, objects and states generation.
