Very interesting source! Did you already contact them to see if this
list is available in some structured format, and if we might reuse it?

This information is also available (along with many others) via
ulrich's (http://ulrichsweb.com/ulrichsweb/), but this is not a free
resource.

Yep, looks like a nice idea.
