Nice! Hadn't seen that -- why isn't it linked from public.resource.org?

There's http://www.irs.gov/pub/epostcard/data-download.zip but that
seems to just be high-level data.  (Might be worth doing a mirror of
http://www.irs.gov/pub/) There's also http://www.ntis.gov/irscd/ (Best
seller!) But the real data is here:

http://www.irs.gov/charities/article/0,,id=150268,00.html

Doesn't look like it'll be too hard to parse but I can put a
programmer on it if it'll help.
