It probably would be good to tell screen scrapers that they don't need
to -- that's why there is an XML version.

Changing the XML format is sub-optimal -- my assumption was that it was
supposed to be stable.
So, should people who currently use queue.xml change to the other
format? Will it be stable?

Nit: queue2.html shows quite a few HTML validation errors, starting with
an unknown charset ("iso-8859"). I understand most people do not care as
long as it works in browsers, but I think we really should do better
(and yes, I'm volunteering to help with that).
