I'm all for a CSS based layout. For automated use of the data, however, wouldn't it make sense to provide some kind of interface that is suitable for automated use? XML-RPC, or whatever, I'm not familiar with the technologies in question. (Just an idea. I don't unfortunately have time to help with implementation.) -- Though spring is here, to me it is still September -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
