I am developing a terminal based outliner for Unix, ( http://hnb.sourceforge.net/) and have recently added a simple OPML import/export functionality. OPML...

... I'm not entirely clear on what you expect of OPML here. If all of the attributes or elements you want to add relate specifically to "to do lists," rather...
I needed an OPML Schema and couldn't find one around, so I wrote one. Anyone is welcome to use it, and please send me comments or corrections if you see any...
... Hmm. Not sure if there's much of a point to writing a schema. I wrote a DTD once, which can be seen at: http://dellah.org/opmldtd.txt Equally fruitless....
I put together some PHP code to access and manipulate an OPML document. A working example is at http://www.defconzero.com/phpopml/view.php and free (as in...
Here's how comments are implemented in UserLand's outliner. http://radio.weblogs.com/0001015/userland/scratchpad/comment.opml Dave ... From: Austin Marshall ...
I don't agree. If an item has isComment="true", that doesn't mean that the item is itself a comment. It means that the item has the comment *attribute*,...
I suppose. It makes more sense when you put it that way. From what I understand, the type attribute is open-ended, nowhere in the spec does it say what a...
I just read through the mailing list and there seems to be a number of people with concerns about the practicality of using attributes vs. the flexibility in...
As usual, if you want to create a format that isn't compatible with OPML, you must call it something other than OPML. Thanks and good luck. Dave [Non-text...
... That includes every use of OPML out there. Everyone seems to enjoy making up their own stuff. May as well use OCS for much of what OPML is used for in the...
I don't want to get into a drawn out debate on this, but if you have some examples, please share. The concern is sources that say they're OPML that don't...
... This isn't the case -- there's a specific way to extend OPML, and all of the extensions I am familiar with follow it. To "make up your own stuff" in OPML,...
... Why *are* you so uninterested in extending OPML? You've defined somethign which is useful and popular, and then stopped it from growing. Very strange. jeff...
Jeff, there are no limits to its growth, that I've seen; and that's the way it works -- once something gets popular, if you change it you break it. I don't...
Well again since the basic issue for most people is flexibility vs. a predictable format, and we can add any elements that we want to the outline element, then...
OPML's strength, from my limited experience is it's simplicity. The basic format is simple and easy to use, and easy to keep consistent. It is also a...

By directory I mean a Yahoo or DMOZ-like directory -- a hierarchy that is navigated using a Web browser. The hierarchy is specified in OPML. My goal is to get...

Yes that's what it means. Here's what the spec says. "A headline without sub-heads with a link attribute that ends with .opml is an inclusion. When the user...
