Hi Dave,

I must say this is not my area of expertise...but I'll try to help out

If your son uses a Notation package that supports Music XML then it should in theory be accessible to a Sibelius user and indeed quite a few other notation packages that support Music XML up to 100 apps so far apparently support Music XML.

Here is some more information here that looks like a nice write up on the subject. Finally here is Make Music's (makers of Finale 2009) take on Music XML.

HTH
