Re: [opml-dev] OPML 1.1

It's true that examples aren't specs, but beggars can't be choosers.

I'll take whatever information I can get in whatever form. Let's be detectives.
I don't recall Columbo or Sherlock Holmes refusing a clue because it wasn't a
spec. ;->

Clarification: By "catalog what their software outputs" I mean actual
