There has also been a lot of work done on ATIS.  The _Sport Model_ 
has an ATIS realistic enough to be useful.  Also AWOS/ASOS and other
related features.

Why text?  

ATIS already comes over the audio.  Wouldn't audio be the appropriate 
channel for clearances etc?

The audio -- in particular the text-to-speech -- is definitely in need
of improvement.  I'm thinking that's where the emphasis should be, rather
than spending too much effort on textual presentations.
