Default TFR data source?

Does anyone know if there is an FTP or HTTP web resource where I can
download text-based, computer-parsable TFR descriptions on a regular
basis? (I've surfed the FAA and AOPA web sites but can only find
graphical versions.)

Thanks


http://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/notam_actual_notam number.html

Where a notam number such as 8/4722 is encoded as 8_4722 giving a URL of

http://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/notam_actual_8_4722.html

This gives the raw notam text within a HTML table.

Since the notam text has a format of
td
FDC 8/5571 ZDZ ....
/td
it should be trivial to parse it out of the HTML.
