Leonard, I think we should remove the default HTML view for the API. People 
don't get that it's meant to be customized. By removing the default view, 
people will get an error and realize that they have to register their own HTML 
view for their content, instead of parsing the default XHTML representation 
and transforming it into what they want. It's the third time around somebody 
does this!!!
