Exactly. Then this opens up the possibility of services (like my.info, to
tie this back to the subject line) which provide the information, but don't
create it. Instead, they can use XML to get the information for other,
trusted providers and serve it up for you in the way you want. The source is
certainly part of the information -- the medium, and the information
provider, I'm not so sure.
