Anything from the inventor of the AK-47 regretting the deaths good invention caused and how it doesn't line up with his Orthodox beliefs, to the guy who decided that two slashes should follow an internet protocol saying it wasn't necessary; what a list!
I can speak for Nord's client sending requests to Google for some reason, maybe not great for privacy thus not great for piracy either.
I can speak well of Mullvad, but advise against sending hundreds of bucks in one go as paper mail is not exactly well secured. There's another VPN that happily accepts cash as payment and doesn't need your info but I can't find it atm...
XML can validate itself and there's the self-documenting WSDL; so while it has more overhead and an ugly syntax it can make for a more stable and earlier to understand API for your API's consumers.
