We actually have developed a web service API for access to geocaching data. There are already several companies working on GPS enabled cell phone applications that use this data. If there are other ideas we're always open to suggestions.
You are correct, however. We do provide GPX (XML) data via Pocket Queries which developers are already writing applications (like the Geocaching Swiss Army Knife). Our API was actually designed with the Premium Member in mind to allow individual developers (and users) manipulate that data through their own applications. We're still in the process of testing them but this is our eventual goal.

Hi Jeremy,
I'm not talking about giving up control of the data, I firmly believe
in a custodian for it, but I'm suggesting that you make it more
accessible. You guys are good gatekeepers, to be sure! But if you
can serve it up in, for example, a Web Mapping Service (WMS) protocol
