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...
I've been a fan of RSS for quite a while, however I could never find a service that allowed you to share calendar feeds with your family or friends. So I built...

Hi, Are there any samples of the kind of stuff that's been causing the aggregators problems? I get the xmlns bit, but my guess is that if they can't take that...
Hi! Can I use relative URL:s (relative to the RSS feed document) for the link element? Does aggrevators support that? Many thanks Hans-Eric Grönlund...

No, the order of elements does not matter in RSS, but I would suggest the preferred order be the order the elements are written up in the spec. Randy ...
... 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...
[apologies for crossposts, I'm not sure which list deals with RSS 2.0 technical issues] There's a use case for multiple formats that's being defined for RSS ...
A little update for rss-dev, some pointers from the Podcasting list relating to the RSS 2.0 approach to mp3+BitTorrent enclosures. I wasn't missing anything,...

How are RSS feeds typically updated?, i.e.: - are old elements removed? (if so, what is the ageing process?) - how do you deal with publishing multiple times...
I am reading this group using RSS and just noticed that Yahoo never returns 304 (unmodified), returning full feed content each time. Here is sample TCP dump: ...
... Yahoo! seems to intentionally generate the feed every time it is requested according to the timestamp, notice that the server time (Date: header) and the...

... Yes, generally RSS feeds remain a fixed length of <item>s and as new <item>s are added to the front, old <item>s drop off the back. I maintain exactly 24...
The bandwidth concern and 304 processing is to protect the RSS publisher against incurring large undesirable bandwidth costs. If the RSS publisher, in this...
