LOL. That's even harsher than I would have put it. The document is at least
well-formed XML, although validity to a schema I have not checked. :-)
In any case, I think it conveys 100 times more information than your average
user typically needs in a weather readout, particularly due to redundancy.
We already have our way of displaying many similar items from different
times, in the form of pubsub items.
For reference, the current Weather Agent uses:
Temperature, and Wind Chill
Min, Max Temp
Conditions
Pressure
Humidity, Dewpoint
Wind (direction and speed)
It doesn't, however, do forecasts at all, and that's one of the things I
wanted to address. I'm not sure such a thing would fit into an IM client per
se, but one of the use cases for weather syndication which I was exploring
was just connecting to an XMPP server from a little desktop applet, instead
of pulling the data from a web server.
