#' Convert Results from readSifnx to data.frame

#' @param lst a list returned from readSifnx
#' @return a list entries converted to data.frame
#' 
#' @details The SIFNX format is an evolving format. Older datasets may not have 
#'  all the columns this function expects. In these cases, the columns will be 
#'  added with all NULL entries.
