Accessing Wikipedia from your application.

If you're writing an application that uses information within Wikipedia, this might be handy; You can access an XML version of any article without any HTML convertions like this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Export/Title_of_the_article

This is much more efficient than pulling down HTML, which has to be converted by the Wikimedia servers first.
