We didn't deprecate, but we definately recommended the version attribute be 2.0. The language is pretty clear IMHO. Thanks, Rany ... misunderstood ... be ... ...
... The text in the profile says: A feed that conforms to the RSS specification must contain a version attribute with the value "2.0". I read that as a simple...
I just want to make it clear that none of this discussion relates to version 1.0 or 1.1. Those versions are clearly not in our domain and in fact are a...
... I don't think the feed validator should be trying to warn about such things. I was just trying to give you an example of what an invalid category might ...

I noticed today that .NET 2.0 doesn't recognize the PST timezone when parsing RFC 822 datetimes. Since many RSS readers use .NET, I suspect there might be a...
... And you base this on what? It seems rather unlikely that the framework is to blame. Are you certain the date is properly formatted? Given the morass ...

There was discussion in the time leading up to the vote on the 1.0 version of the profile about work for the second edition (which was referred to as "1.1")...
