	Any of XMLRPC, SOAP, etc... would be bad.

	One thing I've done in an application recently, though, was to  
deliver all of the content in clean, concise XML with a stylesheet  
instruction at the top.  The primary use of this interface is for  
writing scripts and what-not against the server data model, but with  
the stylesheet, it renders quite usably in a web browser.

	The nice thing here is that you should already be able to do the  
same thing in hgweb by just defining a new set of templates.
