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 :-) Chris [1] http://scriptingnews.userland.com/backissues/2002/09/09#attnSpecWonks [2] http://backend.userland.com/rss [3] http://rss.benhammersley.com/archives/001320.html [4] http://groups.yahoo.com/group/syndication/
