Having lists that can live outside the server or application they were 
created for is a big deal. If we were talking about the next step in 
bringing the web to its full potential, then machine readable lists 
are that step. There's oceans and oceans of data in list form.

No doubt.  I didn't say the applications that could be built with the 
extensions are boring... I said the extensions themselves were boring.  
In other words, while I (and quite a few others it would appear) would 
have done it differently, they're so minimal and simple that there's 
really not a lot to debate about 'em.  The real question is going to be 
whether or not MS will make changes to the approach based on community 
feedback.
