Bibliographic patent data sources

As previously mentioned, many patent offices publish their bibliographic patent data in XML format in accordance with WIPO standard ST.36.  Where can you find the data?  As of the date of this post, the following web pages provide download links or purchase order information for such data.
Note that the data may not be free.  The USPTO makes its data available free of charge, with no usage restrictions.  The CIPO also makes its data available free of charge, but only for non-commercial use.  Each patent office may impose different pricing and/or usage constraints on its data.
