I don't think it is being worked on. The biggest problem is that there  
are no publicly available OFX/QFX servers to test against. You would  
end up testing the bill paying function against your own live account.  
For data downloads, it isn't so bad if you screw up a patch to the  
download code, but if you could trigger an unintended payment, life  
gets more exciting.
