Or better yet, perhaps Brickset (and others) is where much of the data for a
single, integrated set guide is pulled from!

It seems a little strange that the community should need to provide the
supplier with information about its products, but I'm not adverse to the
idea.

In fact I already provide an XML web service to Peeron and would be happy to
make it available to others.

Sorry, let me clarify. I was referring to the data, not necessarily how the data
is obtained.

Information like this is much easier for me to get out if I know that a) the
destination is a reliable source and b) that I'm not going to be flooded with a
slew of requests for the same data from others.

Much like ILTCO allows me to focus my attentions one place versus multiple
places, which means I spend more time doing new stuff and less time reiterating.
