I suggest the following additional tags for the PWS XML:
<update_timestamp value="Thu, 22 Jan 2010 14:01:07 +0200"/>
This tag should be used to calculate the "Observed:" time in the sidebar for current
PWS conditions. Whatever format you choose for the date/time is up to you.
<update_interval value="30">
This tag should be used to determine the upload/refresh interval of the PWS XML (in seconds).
<update_maxuploads value="10">
This tag should restrict the number of uploads/refreshes in a session and
when exceeded should show "Weather expired - press F5"
... or maybe all thogether like this (my preference):
<update>
<timestamp value="Thu, 22 Jan 2010 14:01:07 +0200"/>
<interval value="30"/>
<maxuploads value="10"/>
</update>
Please have a look at the XML I'm producing at the moment:

PREVIOUS REQUESTS
Please turn the moon 180 degrees for the Southern Hemisphere.
IS IT A BUG?
1) On the desktop:
... it shows "Rain: 2.3 mm" ... it should be "Rain: 2.3 mm/h" as it's the rain rate.
2) On the Web Widget:
... the rain rate/total does not show on the Web Widget for PWS XML.
... the sunrise/sunset and moon phase don't show on the Web Widget.
ACCOLADES / KUDOS:
... I am amazed that the rain rate affects the size of the raindrops in the widget.
... The jetliners in the day, meteors, twinkling stars and sputniks at night is amazing.
... Lights that go on and off in the house at nighttime.
... Swaying trees and bushes when it's windy.
What else is there that I've missed?
... a car going down the road or children playing in the fields?
... moon and solar eclipses maybe?
Thanks again for all your hard work and effort that goes into this development.
