I received word this morning that the AWS (Aviation Weather Service) is going to be changing the way AIRMETs are formatted for the ConUS. Take a look at the below link for changes that will become effective November 28, 2006.

The proposed changes make it seem easier for the folks at AWS to write an AIRMET, but I don't see much benefit to pilots as they're eliminating quite a few items.
