Yes, Larry, the initial window's contents are from Wikipedia. But if
you click on the "more info >" link, the window switches to a tabbed
one that has five tabs for different "user added" content, including
an "add your business here" link and still begins with a link to the
initial window's advertiser.

And now I see that the URL appearing in my browser's address hover bar
contains "...local_url..." which sounds like LocalContents,
and ..."poiPerformPage..." which sounds like Points of Interest.

Oh well, this has nothing to do really with the API as it stands. I
was just curious about whether the API was getting these PoIs at some
point, and if so whether they would be controllable, like the actual
Wikipedia layer.

Thanks, Larry, for looking into this.
