API for web interface & an idea for barcodes

It would be great for me to use greasemonkey to submit tracking data direct to my account (when this is implemented)

I would like to suggest a scan and go idea:

You choose the carrier and scan the barcode.

If it is in this format:

version[tab]name of item to track[tab]tracking number

eg. 1\tPatriot Wildfire\t5314778657

Then you have all the info you need, otherwise treat it as a tracking number.
