Well, I am more interested in defending the principles of extensibility and namespace use (WHERE/WHEN NECESSARY) that the draft itself. I am far from knowing...

... RDF 1.0 is based on RDF 0.9, not 0.91, which had rdf:RDF as the root element -- so it's there for backwards-compatibility. ... Again,...

Let's get it on the Web so other people can have a look. Dave ... From: "Aaron Swartz" <aswartz@...> To: <syndication@egroups.com> Sent: Wednesday,...

You'll see where I'm going in Radio UserLand. It's not just because the "proposal" is written by geeks for geeks, and that most of the content worth ...

Dave, As a fervent admirer and user of Userland's Frontier, I am appalled by your posts to this list. For a guy with a 'flame retardent policy' your tone and ...

... I must apologize, I asked Dave to come out and say what he really felt, and he did. I appreciate that. If you don't, don't listen to him. ... Dave never...

I'm a lurker on this list. I'm not a technical person, though I can program well enough for my own purposes in three or four different languages (and don't...

I curious as to the thoughts of others on this list to the points that Lynn brought up. Perhaps her post got lost in the flurry of messages that we all...

... http://www.egroups.com/message/syndication/445 I think the answer from the RSS-DEV people (I'm sort of guessing, correct me if I'm wrong) is that the...

... Let me be a little more clear. I am a writer *and* I am a programmer. Writing comes first; I program when I have a need, not because it's k001 (though it...

... I'm so sorry -- I tried to stay away from that, but I guess I didn't do too good of a job. I have nothing but respect for you, Lynn. I love your site and...

... These sorts of assumptions are self fulfilling to a degree. If you write a spec assuming that some users won't interact with it then they won't. This...

... It's true, and I maintain that the new spec is for more technical usage than the older one. For real heavy-duty use, it will require some understanding of...

... That answers my question. I guess my partner and I will be developing a simpler format for our project on our own. Thanks, Aaron! Lynn -- Siprelle &...

... Well if you can try staying with an older version of the RSS format. It will give you access to more syndication system than if you create your own format....

... We wanted to include a little more information than .91 allows. We might just go with SN format, or any of the other ones littering the landscape. :) Or we...

That's fine. But I'm going to keep going. I'm tired of debating this stuff. I've been having a lot of fun in the last couple of months, and it's only been in...

... Heh, Hoisted by my own hyperbole! My apologies, Dave, 'apalled' was too strong a word. How about dismayed or disappointed? I understand getting fed up with...

... The RSS1 proposal tries to serve multiple masters using a single XML syntactic representation. It is very close to being syntactically equivalent to RSS09...

... Too many masters. ... Id does NOT LOOK like RSS that much. ... That seems to be the main problem: RDF focus. RSS became a popular format with people that...

... That's not true. The authors were clearly _very_ concerned about backwards compatibility. There's a lot of junk in the spec that I'd like to see taken out,...

Howdy, ... There are just a few simple mechanical additions to add the RDF syntactic sugar needed for those in the RDF world to join the wonderful world of ...

I'm cross-posting to rss-dev. It would be great if this thread continued there, but there may not be good intersection at the moment... ... The inchannel and...

... This is true. If there are processors that are broken, I think it would be helpful for this group to know about it so we can provide fixes or perhaps...

... Yes; in fact it should be online next week. Rael reports that you can give it RSS 1.0, and it will spit out 0.91. I'll add an option that give users the...

... This is an interesting issue that I'd like to hear more opinions on. I think the goal is to make it simple for those crafting XML by hand and extensible...
