NDFD-XML: Addition of new XML encoding type Timeseries Markup Language (TSML)
This version of the NDFD XML Web Service allows the choice of two different XML formats for encoding geospatial data: DWML and TSML.

Because of this, TSML offers greater interoperability: the ability of different information systems, products, or applications, whose interfaces are understood, to connect with other products or systems.

has caused some application compatibility issues.
Secondly, new input parameters to the known functions (seen here:

Discontinuance of the NDFD XML Web Feature Service.
Over the life of its experimental comment period, the National Digital Forecast Database
(NDFD) Web Feature Service (WFS) received very few requests for data and did not develop
a set of consistent users. NOTE!! This is not the popular NDFD SOAP and REST XML Web Service, but
the WEB FEATURE SERVICE. As a consequence, effective March 01, 2011, at approximately
1500 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and in accordance Details...

RSS/CAP XML: Phase out of CAP 1.0 feeds
Effective December 31, 2009, the RSS/CAP version 1.0 feeds of active watch/warnings/advisories located at http://www.weather.gov/alerts/ have been phased out by the CAP version 1.1 feeds located at http://www.weather.gov/alerts-beta/. The CAP 1.0 feeds will remain active until about March 15, 2009, at which time redirects will be put in place to the CAP 1.1 feeds. At about this time, it is expected the CAP 1.1 feeds will migrate to the address http://alerts.weather.gov/ at which time they will be declared official and operational. Details...
Current Obs XML: Application of new schema
As of June 2, 2009, a new current observation schema is in place, as originally noted in April of 2008. The new schema allows fields that contain no data to not to have to appear in the xml data files. This was done to bring the actual XML into compliance with the schema and also to support a large number of new fields that would be empty for many observation stations. As a result of this change, xml files are now available for marine buoy observation sites. Details...
XML Alerts: Seeking comments on experimental CAP 1.1 messages
NWS is accepting comments through December 1, 2008 on experiemental enhanced feeds of NWS watch/warning and advisories in the CAP 1.1 format.
