Just messing around, I noticed that JSON is also supported if you specify json for the output output=json
http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?output=json&oe=utf-8&ll=37,-122&key=asdad The XML output size for ll=37,-122 is 421 bytes and the JSON equivalent is 293 bytes. If you're doing a lot of requests, which my app does, saving at any turn you can comes in handy. Excellent service as well. I have a feeling geonames is going to have a lot more bandwidth opening up in the coming weeks :).
