Eric,
it's a lot more than I expected! Two minor questions:
      * are you exposing machine-readable formats in the document
        source? I can only find <link rel="alternate to the RSS2 feed
      * the Omeka XML has info about pagination, but is there a way to
        go through many pages of content without parsing XML of the
        first page?

We need more professional societies adopting the same policies. I think
there could be some progress in this direction with the "ethics
statement" that Ant Beck has been discussing with a few organizations in
the UK.

Ciao
