Is there an authoritative categlog og common OPML attributes? I've very briefly taken a peek at OPML every once in awhile since its inception, but I've always...
... I think one option is using XML namespaces: put the application-specific attributes in a certain namespace. Then, other applications can decide to parse...
Howdy Jeff ... Beyond the spec, no. The closest item I know of is the compilation that I put together at the turn of the year, tracked in this thread: ...
... This is true, and a good idea I'll have to look into (my XML parser is not very sophisticated at this time ;).. But I'm worried more about attributes which...
... Right back at ya :) ... Is anyone following it? :) Why not posted on the main OPML site? ie: A "suggested" file to follow? (ie: I know Dave is busy, but if...
... Stan mentioned a file a few messages back; it could be a good starting place, and is OPML based :) Thanks Dave, jeff -- "It's murder out there. You can't...
Yes, of course use what Stan has. Once we can see it all in one place, then we'll know more about where to go. Definitely OPML is about to get some major...
Namespaces, theoretically cosmic, can be squirmy worms in practice. I like the way Dave Winer specced an allowance for namespace extensions in the Extending...
... It is. It follows the spec carefully, and its OPMLs interop well with the UserLand OPMLs. However, it ignores (at this time) some existing-in-practice...
... Cosmic squirmy worms? ... On a technical level, I agree this is a major step forward - the addition of namespaces increases the potential utility of this...
Hi folks, I'm just curious - how many apps are using OPML as their primary format? From what Stan said I believe JOE falls into this category, and presumably ...
... So you woudl rather OPML remain more or less non-useful for another year? :) jeff -- "It's murder out there. You can't even travel around in your own micro...
While putting together my listing of in-use OPML elements and attributes last December, I googled about for OPMLizing tools. I stored the results in the file ...
Stan, I asked Brent Simmons if he had any OPML tools for Mac OS X, his response follows. Dave ... From: "Brent Simmons" <brent@...> To: "Dave Winer"...
... Not to Dave, but with regards to the forward, <pest> As an aside.. How much more can a "generic OPML viewer" be, given that there is no standard OPML...

... Why is a smartass answer needed? [aside: Agreed, a smartass answer *is* always needed :P] I'm illustrating a large failing in OPML. Since I bring it up, ...
... Honestly, I *like* OPML as a format. It's super-easy to parse, and I think the ability for you to add attributes of any kind is a feature, not a ...
Maybe you should start a new mail list and take these problems with you. But if you do -- puh-leeeze don't call what you do OPML. Thanks. BTW, the arguing will...
OPML never claims to really be open. Perhaps it should be, or if not, an open-OPML needs to be defined. In the Spec, I note: Under "Goals of the OPML format": ...
... I never said you should not be able to add attributes ad hoc. I do say that if you want to use a "target date" attribute, you and I shoudl both use the...
OPML works quite well for many of us. Jeff: Unsolicited suggestion: Figure out what attributes you'd like to use in your OPML files, implement support for them...
