The Definitive OPML / RSS Search Directory

It occured to me this evening, as I was interviewing the guys from HelpShare and Lookmarks, that Gada.be is creating the Internet's definitive RSS Search directory. Yeah, take a look at this single OPML file and tell me I'm wrong. A9 isn't doing it, and Yahoo! isn't doing it. If I'm missing any searches, I'd be surprised - we've got over 200 of 'em in there (not including the dupes). It's not just about bragging rights - it's about doing it, and doing it right.
As I mentioned a few minutes ago in a huge update… “Been noticing the conversation around Gada.be’s OPML gaining a bit more traction lately. That’s quite nice to see, actually - and I wanted to encourage more of you to use Gada.be’s automatically-generated OPML in any one of your Web or Desktop applications. No funky APIs - no approval process. Just use our OPML, please. It’s there in every single category (including a hidden “aâ€Â? category).” Reference links include:

Yes Chris, you are right that gada.be is great. There is no grandstanding necessary for your search engine. I have used the search a few times and evertime I do use it I am dissapointed that I do not use it more. I would like to see this become more popuilar as it really is a great way for people to get the results they are looking for from blogs and other new sources. You are really helping in the democratization of the internet

I don't know. I just don't get it. I've been to gada.be a few times and every time i search on it, i'm stumped as to why this is usefull — or rather more usefull than any other search engine out there. I feel like I should understand why this is good, or why it matters, but I really don't. Perhaps a post about what gada.be is for is in order? Or am I just dense?

The only drag is that I can't import the OPML results into Tailrank. Not sure which side is at issue.
