I totally agree, I was just pointing out that sofar I've seen no project 
that actually can use the data.  I know that it's put out by a company 
called Gemstar and that Mr. Gates has partial ownership in it.  I think 
it's quite proprietary, but if you start to figure anything out feel 
free to share and maybe we can begin to use it.
