Comment (by willu.mailingLists at cse.unsw.edu.au):

 Hi,
   I maintain [http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~willu/xmltv/tv_grab_au_reg.html
 tv_grab_au_reg], an XMLTV grabber for two Australian data sources.  Based
 on my quick glance at the new XMLTV, it shouldn't be too hard to support
 the new discovery spec (just need to add two simple command line options).

   I'm more concerned about some of the additional requirements on the
 baseline capability.  I hope that Myth doesn't lose the capability to
 interpret timestamps without explicit timezones.

   Finally, as far as backwards compatability, I think it would be good to
 support the version of XMLTV currently in Debian Stable.  That could be as
 simple as allowing the user to enter the path and command line options to
 a grabber manually, and not failing if you can't find 'tv_find_grabbers'.
 i.e. it might be harder to configure if you're using Debian Stable, but it
 is still possible.  Myth can already do this, so just don't take that
 functionality out.
