To improve the ability of feed aggregators/readers to determine when a channel has been updated, I would add a Recommendations section to both lastBuildDate...
Hi group! I thought it can be very suitable for some RSS authors, webmasters or other stuff to recieve any feedback not as emails but as instant messages. I...
I agree, these are all great ideas. These should be done in a module (namespace extension) to avoid stomping on existing implementations. Any volunteers. Lack...
These should be added to v1.1 of the profile. We need to get v1 out the door ASAP as we've are already late delivering. At this point, we should only be...
The following RSS Advisory Board proposal has been made by Rogers Cadenhead and seconded by Randy Charles Morin. Under the advisory board charter, the board...
Apologies for getting these in after the last call period has ended (I'd strongly recommend allowed more than three days for interested parties to review the...
... The vote doesn't begin until Monday, so we have a little leeway. But given the length of the document, I don't want to spring revisions on the board if it...
... I believe Geoffrey is correct. The RSS spec may not say anything about it, but the W3C TAG does. See http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/mime-respect I don't...
... I am aware of what the preceding sentence says, but I would still rather it be spelt out. ... Can we not say something like, "Seven (out of [n] tested)...
I think we have abandon any enhancements to the profile and focus on bugs. We've had 18 months of this already and we can easily trap ourselves into another 10...
... Done. In the next draft the sentence will read "For this reason, aggregators SHOULD accept both 0 and 24 to represent midnight." ... We hashed over the...
I've updated the RSS Profile draft to address the channel-pubDate formatting error and a minor skipHours-hour rewording suggested by Geoffrey Sneddon: ...
I'm gonna vote against any changes for change sake at this point. I don't really have the time to review any further changes. Thanks, Randy ... aggregators ......
Sam Ruby, the lead author of the Feed Validator, sent me an e-mail about the RSS Profile that's worth responding to here. Here's his email: My question is how...
I forgot to mention that I reprinted Sam's email with permission. Here's my response. ... I'd like to see the text of the RSS Profile adopted verbatim at any ...
... I plan to move slowly, and if there ever is a side to take in the matter of whether Harvard or the RSS Advisory Board is the true owner and custodian of...
... Good idea. If the profile passes, this will be the permanent URL for version 1: http://www.rssboard.org/rss-profile-1 This will be the URL that always...
... Continuing this discussion, the validator and the profile are already largely aligned on two of the "big stuff" items: enclosures and relative URLs. As...
... 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...
... Citation? ... From what I can recall, the current text is based on what works best with existing, popular aggregators. Or to put it another another way, ...
... 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...
