I'm sort of against packaging actual *CONTENT* with the
distribution, and it's also the reason I haven't dumped the urls I've
scraped up over the past few months on the masses. Redistribution of
modified content is verboten in 99% of all cases, unless explicitly granted
by the content provider (and we should be able to prove that approval).
Transcoding and redistribution is a sticky mess, and I'd like to make sure
the Plucker team doesn't get dragged down in it.

I've done this for hundreds of urls already, but in some cases, a
simple email to the content provider, explaining your need, can work
wonders.

Who keeps the XML file updated?
