+1 on using any opportunity to recommend using guids. I'd also add a comment that whatever "link" points to, it SHOULD be "renderable" in a web browser...
A few months ago I found this interesting suggestion http://radio.userland.com/stories/storyReader$19964 . I tested it on a few aggregators but no one...

... Dave's article was 4 years ago, and he didn't put it in the RSS specification. It seems to have lived very quietly (read: not widely adopted) since then. ...
Both Radio UserLand and Manila should support this feature, though they would need to be tested to know for sure. My guess would be that the aggregator in the...
Not everybody can HTTP 301 their feed. Many hosting providers don't provide such a facility and many bloggers wouldn't know how to HTTP 301 their feed anyway....
... The chances of getting hosting providers and blog software authors to support 301s are much higher in the absence of kludgy workarounds. ... Not all blog...

Hello Klaus, ... Something that people here might want to note (if they haven't done so already). HTML already has a similar mechanism. One can use the <meta>...

If you want to leave FeedBurner, we go through a number of steps to redirect readers back to the source feed. Issuing this document is one of the "stages of...
I have yet to delve into the nitty gritty but it seems IIS7 has already been extensively modified. Apparently IIS7 pushes manageability down the stack making...
I think it's a mistake for consumers to update feed URLs on 301 (permanent) redirects silently. Unless the consumer has an "restore-last-feedURL" feature, the...
... You speak as someone who writes software for users. As someone who publishes feeds, I am not particularly fond of those suggestions. I would rather...
Your solution is reasonable - if slightly complex (like many aggregators, we rely on a layer below us to handle HTTP redirects automatically. It's trickier,...
... That's my hope. What's good advice today may not be good advice in 2008. Two years ago I never would've thought using content:encoded for full text and...

Adam Curry, while on the board, suggested that a value of -1 or very large would indicate an unsubscribe, similar to a 410. Sorry, I can't find the link. Doubt...
