Timeline 2.0 is here:
http://static.simile.mit.edu/timeline/api-2.0/timeline-api.js
although I should say that Timeline 2.0 was engineered more to serve
Exhibit 2.0 than to improve upon Timeline 1.0, although it does have a
bunch of improvements.

Exhibit does not support Timeline's XML format. However, it is way more
powerful in how it renders the data. In this example,
http://simile.mit.edu/exhibit/examples/presidents/presidents-2.html
you can see that the bubbles on the timeline and the map are formatted
differently. The Details view has another way of rendering the data.
And if you look at my publications page, powered by Exhibit,
http://people.csail.mit.edu/dfhuynh/publications.html
you can see that the papers' abstracts are actually formatted HTML (see
how each can consist of several paragraphs).
