Do not make the mistake of thinking that because my conclusion is the same as another person's that my reasoning is the same
And while I'm on a pseudo techno rant
My conclusions about the nastiness of the RSS crew.
WHen Netscape dropped RSS, Dave Winer picked up the ball. The RDF crew is upset because RSS 0.9x didn't pass the XML purity test, or maybe it's personal… I ain't that deep into it and won't be. Naming RSS 1.0 as such was a slap at Dave Winer. He, in return slapped back with RSS 2.0.
RDF crew slapped first, so I blame you for the mess. You should have named your format RDFS (RDF Syndication) and fought your battle on technological grounds. But you didn't, and your whole RSS community (1.0 and 2.0 factions) is now known as much for pissy-little-hissy fits as the much needed syndication tech. And the more important article syndication grows, the more the tech will be used and the more you all will be heard of AND THOUGHT OF AS TOTAL ASSES.
Grow up, or the tech will be taken by BigCo. And as long as I can use it, I don't care if it is. But YOU do.
