Here's the problem Dave: that badge only works with Netscape. Total lock-in.
If you want to add it in My Userland or Headline Viewer or some other system
instead of Netscape's the badge doesn't work. It doesn't even let you know
where the XML!

What we need is a standard so that we can have 1-click adding to any system
you choose. No lock in.
