I appreciated your blog posting on using OpenSearch XML
results. You wrote, "It allows you to send your search
request to a search engine in a standard HTTP query,
then receive the results back in XML format. The reason
this is better than the regular HTML results page is
that XML is very precise about the data it's
representing, so it's easy to extract the data for your
own uses. At that point, you can do anything you want
with them: format 'em, aggregate 'em, stick 'em in a stew."
What if I want to do that with tags on x#? Suppose I
want to look for passages tagged with "sin", and do my
own thing with the results?

Blessings,
Lars
