No, this format is fairly static - and you can make it entirely "fixed" by
adding a "fields" option to select the data-items you are interested in.

But to pick only the hosts that appear on a specific page must be done on
the Xymon server - you don't want to download a lot of info to the
smartphone, just to throw it away later (unless you have a flat-rate data
plan for your smartphone, and I don't).

And when we have to code the filtering, we may just as well add the code
to provide the data in a standardized format. Something similar to the
xymondxboard output, probably.
