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 ...
... I know that feeds using the Userland namespace did exist in the past, and I know of at least one that still exists[1]. Unfortunately there's no easy way to...
... I think Aristotle was looking for something a little more specific than that. Why do we need to embed RSS in other XML vocabularies? I too would like to...
... Something different but with more amusing possibilities: UFP thinks that http://www.rssboard.org/stuff/things/backend.userland.com/rssRULEZTEHUNIVERSE is a...
... RSS 2.0 is one of the most widely supported XML dialects in existence. That puts a lot of code out there that handles RSS elements and a lot of brains...
... But "title" and "{http://backend.userland.com/rss2}title" _aren't_ the same element, and the same goes for any other local name, and as such for anyone...
... This is completely missing my point: if we put something in the spec it massively increases the likelihood of it being used in the real world, and as such...
... This sorta helps: <http://google.com/codesearch?hl=en&lr=&q=%22http%3A%2F%2Fbackend.userland.com%2Frss2%22&sbtn=Search ... That said, it mainly contains...
... Under that logic we don't need RSS at all. Atom does everything RSS does and is more precisely specified. Whenever anybody asks me which format they should...
... Atom happens to be in a namespace, and may therefore theoretically be more suited to solving this particular type of problem, but beyond the AtomPub...
