People might be interested in Map.llsd ( 
http://dev.signpostmarv.name/pub/llsd-grid-map/map.llsd.0.2.xml ), a 
spec I worked in with some of the OpenSim peeps to represent the data 
relevant to a map of a grid in a single file (which would be a hell of a 
lot better to use than constant poking of LL's current webmap API)
