Aloha,

OK, here's an example of where I'm not following what you're up to.

This is very high on my list of important things to do. Expect it
within two weeks.

So who/what is returning specific html markup like this?
Not the server, I assume/hope...?

So where will this be coming from, and how will it end up being 'wrapped' this way? That is, how does whatever is receiving it and wrapping it know what to wrap and how.
And what is going to be using these 'wrapped' result data?

And how will whatever piece is doing the wrapping know a set of results from a result in that set from a family/species designation from a text/description designation and so on?

I thought this was going to be passed back and forth using XML markup that we create to suit our descriptive needs and purposes - see the sample (Rich, I assume you did that?) in the wiki spec pages.

How many of the regretted implementation choices that will be re-chosen RSN could have been made better in the first place if we actually worked out in-depth schema issues, a reasonably detailed and thorough functional spec, software architecture diagrams, etc.?
