Here's the first I can find from Avent, again to John Bryan who
posed the original question re applicability of the Zone Map:

Hey Jim,

Do you know if they're going to make the data that they used to create the maps publicly available?

It would be great for a Web site like hort.net to tell you your hardiness
zone just by typing in your zip code.

Don't know; why don't you ask Tony himself ? But one of his messages
says they are planning to do via the web just what you wish. And if they
do, couldn't hort.net act as a proxy for it ? That is, if they put a
zip lookup on their site, you could have a zip lookup box on hort net, transfer
the zip to USDA web lookup, parse the result, and feed the zone back to the
hort.net requestor.
