+ If you would like to access the bug list from another program
+ it is often useful to have the list returned in something other
+ than HTML. By adding the ctype=type parameter into the bug list URL
+ you can specify several alternate formats. The supported formats
+ are: Comma Separated Values (ctype=csv), iCalendar (ctype=ics),
+ RDF Site Summary (RSS) 1.0 (ctype=rss), ECMAScript, also known
+ as JavaScript (ctype=js), and finally Resource Description Framework
+ RDF/XML (ctype=rdf).
