Apearently, opencaching is many things. There is opencaching.com (owned by 
garmin, which is the site I thoght this was about), opencaching.<your 
countrycode> which is something different. These sites looks like a network, 
but without a central access to caches, caches found in the german site are 
not in the swedish, etc.

I tried changing the hardcoded address of www.opencaching.de with 
www.opencaching.se, but although the file 
(http://www.opencaching.se/xml/ocxml11.php) exists, I get no caches on my 
marble map using that one (not even in sweden...)

So it appears to me that that particular service is a bit immature :-)
