Ya'aqov, 
The answer is not "no", it is exactly as Karen described. Since you
interpret this as "no", I wonder if you have a less than complete grasp on
what it takes to develop an ongoing production service upon which you can
rely. Also, I hope you can appreciate that we have many competing priorities
that we cannot simply ignore in order to respond to a new service idea. As
most institutions do, we have a procedure for weighing development
priorities and making strategic decisions that we cannot simply throw aside
upon a whim. Lastly, part of what we would be required to do is to work with
the Library of Congress as the producer of the data before we could create
such a service. Thank you for allowing me to further explain why we cannot
simply implement your proposal.
Roy
