FriendFeed is working on Simple Update Protocol (SUP), a means of discovering when feeds on a particular service have been updated without polling the...
I added an issue to SUP's home page on Code.Google.Com about the use of invalid RSS: http://code.google.com/p/simpleupdateprotocol/issues/detail?id=3 That page...
Hello, ... AFAIK, Atom requires you to use URLs for non-standard "rel" attribute values. So what SUP is doing for the "rel" attribute is correct. ... You...

... Interesting -- I wasn't aware of that. I tried to check it in the Atom format spec, but I don't understand this sentence: "The value of "rel" MUST be a...

Hello, ... [...] ... Well, obviously anyone can create an Atom URL/URI/IRI/whatever-you-want-to-call-them "rel" extension... and I've even done it for "in...

... Neither place any limits on the number of atom:link elements in such contexts. Atom links with a rel="self" are already commonplace in RSS 2.0 feeds. -...
... True. But the documentation for SUP doesn't say that RSS publishers should use atom:link in their feeds to define a provider. The docs just say to add a...

... I know Google uses IRI-based relationships in number of their feeds. Have a look on Google calendar and Picasa for some examples. Not that I'd necessarily...
Hi, I try to be precise in a generic and popularized RSS definition for non coders. RSS is an XML dialect. It can handle external namespaces declared by...
I've always found this mildly problematic. Ideally, you should be able to define a namespace for RSS and prefix the elements, but I imagine that would break...
... 1. The syntax which you might use for this actually undeclares the prefix. You can’t actually declare a prefix for the null namespace. 2. What would be...
If you wanted to use the null namespace for some other purpose, then you could prefix the RSS elements with a properly declared namespace prefix (in an ideal...
... I tried that with Atom, which *is* in a namespace, and even then most clients broke: http://plasmasturm.org/log/376/ The situation is greatly improved now...
I think there's two scenarios that exist with RSS vis-a-vis namespaces. -RSS elements in RSS documents -RSS elements in other XML documents 1. RSS elements in...

Thanks James! There is only 7 clients that support the userland namespace and wouldn't support a new namespace. I would go with a new namespace and a bold...
... FWIW, SimplePie used to support the Userland namespace, but dropped support for it seeming it was used nowhere and does have a cost. It appears (looking...
... To give my opinion as an implementer: do we really need another feed format? Effectively, aggregators have support RSS 0.90, RSS 2.0, Atom 0.3, and Atom...
