I propose that we change the name because it would:
(1) help heal the rift with Dave Winer,
(2) encourage a new attitude towards this revolutionary RDF Metadata
Feed; and
(3) [as you indicate] clear up the confusion in the marketplace if the
syndication group moves ahead with RSS 9+.

Are there any valid arguments against changing the name?
