Right now, if you want to get details for several videos, you have to call
for each video ID separately, which means multiple round trips to the
YouTube server.  That slows down the overall speed of an application.  If
YouTube accepted an array of video IDs, and returned multiple entries in
the XML response, it would cut down on latency issues.

Ability to get details on multiple videos by a single round-trip will certainly help 
my application.

I like the simplicity of getting the item detail by simply including its id in the 
URL. An ideal interface to get multiple entries by Ids would be to allow a comma 
separated list of ids at the end of URL.

I second this request, this could make our applications so much more powerful!

Good idea, should not be too hard to implement. So why not the same for requests to
other information, such as user profile details.
