Not to denegrate what Stephen was trying to do in our discussion, but this is 
typical of a government operation, particularly when they are told to make the 
data available to the public.  They will carefully research what is available, 
and purposely choose a method, that while publicly available, is so obscure 
that no one has the secret decoder ring.  And of course we didn't get the memo 
either.  :(
