      <![CDATA[<p>So I am piecing together MTAmazon 3.0, and the first rough tagset is complete. I wanted to run it by the community and solicit feedback. The model is simple, there will be a container tag associated with each Amazon operation. The following example is a tagset for the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/aws/sdk/main.html?s=AWSEcommerceService&amp;v=2005-10-05&amp;p=ApiReference/ItemLookupOperation">&#8220;ItemLookup&#8221; operation</a>:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;MTAmazonItemLookup ItemId="B00005JNOG"&gt;
  &lt;MTAmazonImage size="Medium"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;a href="&lt;$MTAmazonDetailPageURL$&gt;"&gt;&lt;$MTAmazonTitle$&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
  Directors: &lt;$MTAmazonItemAttributes name="Director"$&gt;
&lt;/MTAmazonItemLookup&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>So is this intruitive to read? How would you like to change this template code?</p>
]]>
      <![CDATA[<p>The other new feature is how each container tag will support any of the other <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/aws/sdk/main.html?s=AWSEcommerceService&amp;v=2005-10-05&amp;p=ApiReference/ItemLookupOperation">Amazon request parameters</a> as an argument to the template tag. For example, all of the following request parameters are supports as arguments:</p>

<ul>
<li>IdType</li>
<li>SearchIndex</li>
<li>MerchantId</li>
<li>Condition</li>
<li>DeliveryMethod</li>
<li>ISPUPostalCode  </li>
<li>OfferPage</li>
<li>ReviewPage</li>
<li>VariationPage  </li>
<li>ResponseGroup</li>
</ul>

<p>Thoughts?</p>
