Senator Booker, I really like the thought of making data available as XML. I would also recommend that, should you be able to make progress on this, you explore how to implement this with developers like those working with #Hack4Congress. Personally, I like a well-documented API that outputs data in JSON format. As a civic application developer, I appreciate getting just the data I need in JSON, which the reduces overall size of the data and allows my application(s) to parse and output data quickly.
Anyway, thank you for pushing your colleagues to modernize how information is shared with the public.
