Re: [rss-media] Re: Attn: Yahoo - Media RSS Spec is still wrong about trailing slash
I would agree that Yahoo made a mess of Media RSS. Last I heard about this issue, the spec was going to be moved to the RSS Advisory Board, although I don't believe that's happened yet. (Surprise, surprise)
At this stage, I've been handling the normalization in the parsing process. (I'm one of the developers of SimplePie.)
To be honest, I'm really not sure how else to handle it effectively.

The namespace has been "corrected" to have the trailing slash ... aside
from the merits of this change (dates back many years to the
distinction + use between namespaces & urls) - things have now since
been breaking. As a proactive measure I'd like to deploy an XSLT
stylesheet that respects both namespaces without much modification that
will ensure both namespaces are respected:
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/">
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss">
Does anybody know how to combine these two in one line / namespace such
that both versions will work and we can accomodate varying use cases
going backward + forward? Thanks in advance.
