Notifications info vague/wrong

[TjL]

1) http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method%3A-users%C2%A0show
suggests that you can use any of: xml json rss atom but rss and atom
are not working at all:

Try this on the commandline:

for EXT in xml json rss atom
do;
echo "
$EXT:"
curl "http://twitter.com/users/show.$EXT?screen_name=moltz"
done

and you'll see that RSS and ATOM return nothing at all.

2) If I go to http://twitter.com/moltz I see that notifications are
ON, but if I check via commandline it says:

$ curl --netrc "http://twitter.com/users/show.xml?screen_name=moltz"

returns

<notifications>0</notifications>

and

$ curl --netrc "http://twitter.com/users/show.json?screen_name=moltz"

returns

"notifications":0

if I turn OFF notifications, XML returns

<notifications>false</notifications>

and json returns

"notifications":false

soooooo....

does
"notifications" = "0" mean "you have notifications turned on"
and
"notifications" = "false" means you do not?

Sounds like a job for either "0 and 1" or "true and false".

Am I missing something?
