And that can be golden in many circumstances...

Oh I completely agree. A standardized XML format (is it NEIM?) will be far more useful in many ways than mere PDFs, I'm sure. I just think it's a bit funny how the effort required from the information *providers* tends to get glossed over. I don't really know much about the adoption of this standard - I just know that starting from PDF, generating useful XML is a nontrivial task.
