How about the XML format returned by "api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&rvprop=content&format=xml"? What will it change to?
For example: The current return value of http://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=query&format=xml&titles=Q1&prop=revisions&rvprop=content is: <api> <query> <pages> <page pageid="129" ns="0" title="Q1"> <revisions> <rev contentformat="application/json" contentmodel="wikibase-item" xml:space="preserve"> {"label":{"en":"universe","fr":"Univers", ...... Is it going to become: <api> <query> <pages> <page pageid="129" ns="0" title="Q1"> <revisions> <rev contentformat="application/json" contentmodel="wikibase-item" xml:space="preserve"> {"labels":{"en":{"language":"en","value":"universe"},"fr":{"language":"fr","value":"Univers"}, ...... Is there a way that I can try this BREAKING CHANGE before Aug 26? For example, can I see the changed JSON format at test.wikidata.org before Aug 26?
