focus on providing raw public data such as regulatory decisions, campaign finance data etc. in open, structured formats such as RSS and XML
I see "XML" ending up being SOAP, OOXML, or an even worse "in-house" format.
It would be nice to have all government data easily available, but I just can't imagine the government hiring someone competent to do it. Lowest bidder and all that.
