YQL for JSONP support

This is fantastic work; great job!

I'd really love to have JSONP as a supported response format so that I don't have to proxy results through the web server. I expect that we'll get JSONP support inadvertently once PlaceFinder is integrated with YQL, won't we?

According to the FAQ and the documentation:

We are working to provide PlaceFinder functionality to YQL developers in the near future.


Is it likely that the near future will be less than two months away?

Thanks!

    Well, it took a bit longer to get PlaceFinder integrated into YQL, but it's finally here. The geo.placefinder table allows users to make requests to PlaceFinder via YQL queries. An announcement and YQL query examples are available at http://developer.yahoo.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=7238. A description of the supported selection parameters can be retrieved using http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q...&appid=test.

    Here is a YQL query example that geocodes a street address and returns a response in JSONP format:
    CODE
    http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from%20geo.placefinder%20where%20text%3D%22701%20First%20Ave%2C%20Sunnyvale%2C%20CA%22&format=json&appid=test&callback=myfunc
