I agree,
FYI, there is some pretty extensive data here....

The above is cool, for anyone in to lists or sources. Tenuous link I
know :-)
Have fun.

One of our BBC developers said this,
"Thanks for that Mikel, I know the journalist who worked on that
and will pester him to put a link in to the original data. We
certainly should be doing that if only for accessibility reasons."
I just thought I'd share with the backstage list, is there anything
else like this which you've seen which you'd love to have the data
behind?
