RSS Autodiscovery Spec Updated   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #1108 of 1987 |
A new draft of the RSS Feed Autodiscovery specification has been
published:

http://www.rssboard.org/rss-autodiscovery

The board's vote on this proposal ends today, so please let us know if
anything needs to be addressed.

This draft incorporates the following changes based on feedback here
and on Randy's RSS blog.

Major Changes

* removed suggestion to use this spec with Atom

* changed "The link SHOULD be placed within the header ..." to "The
link can be placed within the header ..."

* removed another RFC 2119 verb from the paragraph suggesting one
autodiscovery link per page

* changed the link's title attribute from a MUST to a MAY

* stated that multiple keywords are not permitted as the rel
attribute's value for autodiscovery links

* stated that lowercase is required for rel and type values for
autodiscovery links

* recommended lowercase attribute names for autodiscovery links in HTML

* dropped suggestion that title could have the value "RSS" instead of
the site's name

* indicated that href URLs can be relative when a base URL is defined,
but recommended against using relative URLs

* indicated that when base has been omitted, relative URLs should use
the page's URL as the base URL

Minor Changes

* indicated that the link element can be HTML or XHTML, with links to
each spec

* gave each link attribute its own section

* added two example graphics showing address bars on pages with single
and multiple autodiscovery links

* added James Holderness as a credited author (thanks!)
