I think that's my big issue... they keep releasing these APIs, which,
on the one hand, is great... And it's good that they're using Atom.

However, microformats seem a whole lot easier and a lower barrier to
entry in many respects (though they'd have to get involved in the
community process which may be too slow for them). At the very least,
supporting both microformats and their own made up magical API would
be a nice overture.

IMHO. Heh.
