Currently we're exposing the xml to the client to parse and do
whatever it wants with it. Additionally it would be nice if we define
some structures (some kind of a list) that store and present this
information.

We can then deprecate the xml in a future release since it is likely
that the xml may change over time and we would want to protect the
client implementation from this change.

To use the Y!M API, you will need to do a lot of porting; that
probably won't be feasible as part of your project scope. But yes, it
probably needs to be done in the future. Has anyone been able to
decipher the developer agreement to see any problems? I haven't had
the time to look at it recently.
