Dave Winer's RSS 2.0   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #3579 of 7450 |
Hi

What do people think about Dave Winer's plan [1] to issue RSS 2.0
[2] tomorrow?

Is it just a matter of fixing the details as Ben Hammersley implies
[3] (I could add internationalisation to that list...) or is there a
far bigger _fundamental_ problem with the 'benevolent dictator'
appoach to the production of web standards?

I've copied this to rss-dev for info but please follow this up on
the syndication list [4] since cross-posting is bad and the rss-dev
list is not as broad-based as the syndication one :-)

... I hate to split semantic hairs, but RSS 0.9x and 2.0 are not web standards, they are proprietary formats of Userland. They were not developed in an open ...

... Being picky I would say that even XML or HTML are not web standards either: the W3C calls them "recommendations" because only ISO and its national bodies...
