Believe it or not I actually already coded XML support into the patches I wrote for the Best/Selected nodes. While the other users XML ticker uses this the other pages don't. (Yes internally other users are technically "picked_nodes") But the support is there and if the gods are amenable and I get the tuits to add the rest of the code then youll be able to get an XML feed of this data instead of scraping the HTML for it.

I meant to release the final patches for the XML stuff right after the normal HTML changes went live, but I guess I got a distracted with other things. Sorry. :-)
