Isn't this more of a client-side issue than feed related? Many reader programs already handle multiple levels of parent/child organizing. Also consider that by...
We've got a little excitement going on in the medical weblog community. Some folks are using the http://www.medlogs.com aggregator instead of the "home"...
Nice looking site! For RSS 2.0, you have the <comments> element that should point to a URL where the comments can be read and added -- so if the original feed...
Hiya, Here's the pesky file: http://www.gadgetshop.com/eshop/rss/gadgetshop.xml I've a copy of it up at: http://www.bigmouthdesign.co.uk/gd.xml FeedValidator...
... The feed does indeed appear valid, and Bloglines doesn't have a problem parsing it. My guess is that Syndic8 and Yahoo don't recognize it as a UTF-16...
... Does it need to be expressed in UTF-16? I'd wonder how many aggregators would be able to read it? I'm not saying that's not a problem, as UTF-16 is a...

... No, most aggregators don't support it and with good reason. It's always possible an item in a feed might get re-aggregator out to another feed. It ...
... Given that many current aggregators have good sorting features, it's probably better to let them do their own ordering. This does mean, however, that...
... Actually, there is no "good reason" why aggregators should not support relative URL's. It's not that difficult and the argument given about re-aggregation...
Andy, Agreed. Unfortunately, most aggregators don't. So, I would advise against xml:base and relative URLs. In fact, all of the RSS validators [1], last I...
In developing a client aggregator for RSS 2.0, I have noticed that different RSS providers on the web order their XML elements differently. This breaks my XML...
Unfortunately, RSS 2.0 and Atom are not XSD friendly, that is, you can't write proper strict XSD to describe either. Rather you have to write a lax XSD, which...
