Another unwelcome change is that the XML you get from, e.g. http://del.icio.us/api/tags/get http://del.icio.us/api/tags/get now comes with a trailing comment containing the date and time. This means periodically downloading your data to store off-del.icio.us results in a growing set of diffs even when none of the real data's changed. E.g.
-<!-- fe02.api.del.ac4.yahoo.net uncompressed Thu Jul 31 02:23:30 PDT 2008 -->
+<!-- fe02.api.del.ac4.yahoo.net uncompressed Fri Aug 1 01:28:35 PDT 2008 -->
Now, I can change my scripts to easily work around this, but should I really have too? Didn't compiler writers learn a long time ago that embedding a timestamp into a object file is a bad idea; far better for it to be determinate for comparison and testing.
P.S. +1 for wanting the old UI back. Sorry, joshu.
