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...
... The sentence directly following that one. If a name is given, implementations MUST consider the link relation type equivalent to the same name registered...

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...

Hello ... Seems like quite the hack. -- Charles Iliya Krempeaux, B.Sc. http://changelog.ca/...
... 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...
Dave Winer's original suggestion of a portable RSS format is now available here: http://www.rssboard.org/news/186 The original is gone from Harvard's blog...
... My concern is that, no matter what you say in the spec, you can be sure that people will start using that namespace in regular feeds. And when they do, I ...
... URI ... readers ... I look forward to seeing the results of your test, but since that URI was used to define a namespace for RSS 2.0, won't that be...
... Results now up on my blog: http://www.xn--8ws00zhy3a.com/blog/2009/02/a-namespace-for-rss ... I wouldn't think so. I may be wrong, but I was under the...
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...
... I suspect many of those results need to be considered with care: the two I know about are Firefox, which for reasons beyond the ken of mortal man considers...
... That makes sense. I'm pretty sure that the Universal Feed Parser used by Planet Venus does something similar, and I know for a fact that Snarfer does ...
