... I think that the following sentence in data-types-urls serves the same purpose without sounding like a new requirement for RSS implementers: These elements...
... I am fine with that wording, Now lets look at how these two suggestions can be compbined. These elements MUST NOT contain IRIs. IRIs MUST be converted to...
In 4.1.1.20.6 is the statement, A publisher SHOULD provide a guid with each item. Simply put, while your heart is clearly in the right place, I think that you...
... Upon further reflection, that sentence is misleading. The set of valid IRIs is a proper set supersets of the set of valid URIs. So disallowing IRIs would...
... I think the correct wording for the spec would be that IRIs with non-ASCII characters MUST be given in their punycode-encoded URI representation. Regards, ...
... The Comments section of the Harvard spec includes this sentence: "In all cases, it's recommended that you provide the guid, and if possible make it a...
I've updated the draft spec on both the web site and wiki. There's a lot of debate here and elsewhere about whether this effort would be better pursued as a...
I'm going to work on a "best practices" document for Really Simple Syndication, so I need a methodology to approach the task. The term "best" is subjective, of...
... While I still have a strong foreboding feeling that I will regret this, I have gone ahead and added a very strictly scoped message based on the original...
... This is a much more viable approach. I'm confident that you would do so anyway, but I think that the document should be clearly and visibly dated: perhaps...
I've never tried to use it as an RSS reader, but I imagine it would suck, if it worked at all. But if you have enclosures, then iTunes will pull metadata from...

Along the same lines, I think the "data" of which aggregators support what elements is important. Of even greater usefulness may be the failure modes of using...
... In the first 24 hours that this fix has been online... there have been no complaints. Looking at the referer logs for unique referers from the page...
... I know I have gotten questions by two people about why their feeds are now failing on feedvalidator.org. But said they were too busy to comment, but might...
... I have actually found one complaint: http://www.feedforall.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=4257 I'd suggest that the RSS-Board take a look at that feed, and in ...
At this point, I am rather against GUIDs being "SHOULDed" (is that a word?) because there is nothing in the current "Harvard" spec that indicates the GUID is...
... Here's SHOULD in RFC 2119, which defines behavior that's optional but recommended: "SHOULD: This word, or the adjective "RECOMMENDED", mean that there may...
I agree with your comments wrt "2.0.1-rv-6". My comments were directed towards a comparison with the specification on Harvard's site which I looked at just...
... I overlooked it too. It wasn't until I was finishing the first draft of the proposed spec last month that I saw that recommendation in the Comments...
The Really Simple Syndication format contains only five required elements -- rss, channel, title, link, and description -- and either a title or description in...
