Sorry I didn't catch that the first time around. I've taken the first baby step toward this with the NATL demo site. Basically I've mirrored the yp.icecast.com home page in NATL format. You can browse it at http://natl.myip.org/~dsweet/Icecast/index.natl I plan to add more mirrors as time (and permission) allows. Once users can be identified via NATL, customized content could be delivered to the NATL client. The goal, of course, is to have the audio content providers using NATL directly so that their content comes to the user already organized (rather than necessitating some intermediary index site). Also, NATL page can contain meta-data that aids in indexing.
