Gabriel,

I hope HTML would be made available with the same frequency as XML
(wikitext) dumps; it would save me yet another attempt to make wikitext
parser. Thanks.

For any API points you provide, it would be helpful if you could also
mention expected maximum load from a client (req/s), so client writers can
throttle accordingly.

Thanks,
Nitin
