Thanks for the smart suggestions, William and Mike. It certainly does look like the XML-fetching routine is to blame. I changed the URL as per William's suggestion, but without luck. While I was at it I double- checked the MIME type under which the XML file was being served, but everything seems to be in order.
maps.google.com seems to be behaving in odd ways at the moment, too. In Firefox 3, the My Maps page was generating a JS error even with all mapplets disabled -- one that I know was not occurring last night. In Safari the Mapplet Scratch Pad continues to act strangely -- it can't load the example mapplets properly, and to switch mapplet code I have to remove the scratch pad completely and then re-add it from the directory. I'm beginning to wonder if something strange isn't going on within GMaps' remote-resource-fetching architecture. I'll be keeping an eye on this list and, as time permits, moving the station data into the mapplet -- there isn't a particularly good reason for keeping it in a separate XML file other than ease of maintenance. Thanks to all who took the time to consider my problem, and especially to William and Mike. Needless to say I would still be very glad to hear any additional thoughts that members of this group might have.
