Hi Gabriel, I noticed the spec hasn't been updated yet (will you do that once the change is checked in?)
And could you also document that the "post-processing" will be available for clients that need "elaborated" information? (maybe via an additional API or put an additional cgi parameters, those information can be easily gotten them back) In general, I think keeping more raw information is a way to provide more development flexibility for clients.
