Just a couple of comments;)  All pages currently have the ability for
printer friendliness.  &theme=print allows you to send the content to the
printer friendly theme.  That theme is editable, and allows you to make your
printer friendly pages format the way that you would like.

In addition, all pages have an RSS output.  This is a little more difficult
to implement, because you need to allow a theme overriden module template,
but you can syndicate anything with &theme=rss .

We talked about 1.1 but are going with 1.0 for the moment, since 1.1 is
still a bit new.

Agreed.  Add to it the security risks that are involved.  Already has been
discussed.
