Brett, either asking for a JSON response or a CSV for plain text will
work.

http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?%20key=foo&output=json&ll=37.780883,-122
returns:
{"name":"-122.000000,37.780883","Status":{"code":
200,"request":"geocode"},"Placemark":
[{"id":"p1","address":"18802-18860 Bollinger Canyon Rd, San Ramon, CA
94583, USA","AddressDetails":{"Country":
{"CountryNameCode":"US","CountryName":"USA","AdministrativeArea":
{"AdministrativeAreaName":"CA","Locality":{"LocalityName":"San
Ramon","Thoroughfare":{"ThoroughfareName":"18802-18860 Bollinger
Canyon Rd"},"PostalCode":{"PostalCodeNumber":"94583"}}}},"Accuracy":
8},"Point":{"coordinates":[-121.999722,37.781018,0]}}]}

or
http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?%20key=foo&output=csv&ll=37.780883,-122
returns:
200,8,"18802-18860 Bollinger Canyon Rd, San Ramon, CA 94583, USA"

but use an API key...
