  I think there's a very valuable use-case in data sets well below the 100mb 
range, particularly, all manner of reference data.  think of a list of 
countries, cities within countries, telephone area codes.  the names of HTML 
entities, colour name/codes, et cetera... or hierarchies used for 
classification purposes as are used in banking.
  
  the reason I made this request to begin with is because I took the trouble to 
extract data that was already available in the wikipedia, but presented as an 
HTML table.  I formatted it and then wanted to share it as a TSV, which is a 
very light format (but JSON would be awesome too) such that it could be 
consumed easily by anyone e.g. a script can ftp the data right from the source, 
and consume it.
  
  that helps developers save each other time and great effort
