I agree with you that automated folksonomies is oxymoronic from it's initial intention, but nevertheless we are seeing some interesting and dare I say, useful results from what we are doing. We've only been up for a couple days, but the response has been great, and we've had a lot of good feedback. TagCloud is based on the experiment I did at http://yahoo.theherrens.com and at this point, we don't know what the importance of the project will be or even how people will use it. I think that's the best part about it though, because it's cool to see how things like TagCloud evolve when you open up the data and let people play. We are prioritizing our features based on user requests -- we added OPML import today -- and you aren't the first person to request a REST interface. Actually, we designed the system so that you access your data in different formats according to the URI. I expect that 'XML' will be an option in the next few days, so you'll be able to do what you like with the data. Our next goal is better i18n support. Thanks for the comments, Ben.
