I had already created a thematic map application that gave information about the uncertainty surrounding ACS estimates (move your mouse over the counties). This website generates the map using API data requests. A future expansion will include parsing the variables XML file.
I have an API request where the get argument that works is "P0030001,P0030002,P0030003,P0030004". However, I wanted to get all available names in that concept, which in total is a list of 8 elements "P0030001,P0030002,P0030003,...P0030008".
This request fails with error "unknown variable 'P0030005,P0030006,P0030007,P0030008"
Is there a limit on the length for the GET argument?
Is there any support (yet?) for congressional districts and other lower-level geographies in the ACS API? States and counties work fine, but I run into problems as soon as I start to go a little deeper into the hierarchy. Are most of these other area types only supported for the SF1 data?

In all of the "sex by age" sets the "85 years and over" label is duplicated for female. I think the first instance is actually just "female".
variable name="P012A026" concept="P12A. Sex By Age (White Alone) [49]">Female: !! 85 years and over
variable name="P012A049" concept="P12A. Sex By Age (White Alone) [49]">Female: !! 85 years and over
