Okay, I'm not going to argue with you, and I fully expect you to trash
me on your blog (which I do read).
But I should say this -- that after a few years of relative peace, I
had started recommending and using the validator.
I can't recommend it now, because I can see what's coming next.
And I think you ought to tell the members of your board how you're
using their names and company's names. I don't think they understand
what you're doing, Rogers.
Not to mention the fact that there is a really big difference between "need to fix" and "should fix". The feed still validates, so folks should feel free to...

Dave, Nearly two years ago when we kicked off this process, you and I were both concerned that it might be over-stretching as it was attempting to write a new...
... We've officially endorsed the Feed Validator and the RSS Profile. That should be sufficient demonstration of our support for the profile to be tested in...
... I previously would have thought so, but another possibility now occurs to me: namely the possibility that this group won't stand behind its own ...
... You should do what you think is right in the Feed Validator. I think you've done a good thing by adding 11 tests for the profile, and the way you're...
Rogers, please file this as constructive criticism. After sitting back and bit and watching this group operate, I see a lot of activity from you and Randy,...
... Also, it seems as if there are other people on the mailing list who are far more active than most of the board. I don't know if I've ever seen some of the...
The board charter requires members be active. On several occasions, members have quit and were removed because of inactivity. All current members have...
... Looks good. The "misplaced Item" link is broken; it should be to this: http://beta.feedvalidator.org/docs/warning/MisplacedItem.html Like the other...
... Fixed. Thanks! ... Done. ... If it continues to look like the vote will pass on Sunday night, I commit the changes to SVN at that time, and schedule it...
... I think that's going too far. The issue is far more complicated than the profile might suggest. The idea was to make a simple recommendation that had a...
... I previously was told that "We will vigorously defend the profile's guidance". It that guidance is as incomplete as you indicate, then I would then...
... The section you're raising concerns about has been in the profile for more than a year. As far as I'm concerned, it's fine in its present form. The ...
... Independent of how long that text has been in place in the drafts, as far as I'm concerned the document has yet to be ratified by this group. ... That's...
... I was initially in favour of more detail, but the argument was made that too much information would just be confusing, and I think that's a valid point. We...

... I don't see the connection here. If I'm a feed publisher who believes HTML is OK in channel-description, I could also be using &#x; entities in elements I...
... Theoretically? Sure. Question: can you cite even a single example in the wild? The latter question is relevant because I believe that the rationale behind...

... I think that's backwards. Here's a title: <title>I bought some AT&T; it went up.</title> With some aggregator/browser combinations, there will be an...
... I don't follow. In both cases, the feed first has to pass through an XML parser which will decode the "&" or "&" and return the string "I bought...
... This list is helpful. I've made fixes so that none of the above should generate messages. If you find a feed that does generate a message, let me know. -...
... I'm finding it difficult to test stuff on the validator at the moment. Sometimes I'll get a warning for a particular test case, but when I add a second...
... Fixed. And thanks for the comments[1] so far on the "orange" items on my list. Initial implementation of all of the "yellow" items is now complete and...
