Neat! I've been waiting for someone to add another JSONP source or two
so it makes more sense refactoring up a generic JSONP loader (so they
can share most of the code).

I'd also love to see someone interact with some Yahoo JSONP feed, by
the way -- they are less contrived and should be easier to work with
too.

Appetizing!

Does the above read as Google Base has some form of ontology
consensus, making more or less their whole data set standardized on
data types and their semantics, so it's essentially write-once? Plus
small updates as/if they iteratively grow new ontologies, of course.

I have not kept up on the Google Base front, as they didn't serve
JSONP when I read about them (and thus did not fit into my service
ecosystem niches), so bear with me if it is a silly question.
