What's going to be the interface to that? XMLRPC?

We'd need that for tools like bugnumbers.

I can see benefits of using the +text pages. Benefits for Launchpad and
for python-launchpad-bugs. We could have a separate backend for that,
but at the moment we would have to parse the HTML pages anyway, because
things like paging, tags, comments, links to attachments, etc etc are
missing. Most of all modifications are not possible. 

It'd also require quite an amount of work to get that backend done and
tested, but it'd surely be do-able. I personally feel that it'd be too
much effort in an interim solution.

Markus: what do you think?

Have a nice day,
 Daniel
