Integrate bulk adding in the web app
I recently found this tool / site: http://files.alnorth.com/rtm/index.html
It is essentially a multi-line version of the add task field in the web app. Although the service works great and it is available for self-hosting, etc, the feature to have the add task field in the web site accept more than one line would be a great addition and open up a slew of additional integration options. (because an external tool would only have to output a set of lines).
i realise that you would have to think about protection against flooding, but the very same problem already exists for the API, so this is really just more of the same.

I love RTM tools like this, but does it do more than the option we already have to email tasks in bulk?
Yes, it does. Bulk e-mailing is broken (or has never worked) for tasks that have more than about 50 characters because e-mail system wrap them around a line and RTM can't handle that.
50 chars is really not very much, with a deadline and one or two tags added, let alone URLs or anything more fancy.
Bulk add like I linked to handles lines as whole lines, regardless of wrapping around in the text input field. So i have spreadsheets that build up very long lines for tasks, with all kinds of smart meta data embedded. A quick copy & paste and I get two dozen of those pumped into RTM.
