Are we bored of RSS Standardization yet?
Sunday, 11 May 2003
Don wants to send RSS to OASIS, of all places. Doesn’t that mean it’ll have to be corporations standardizing it? Urgh.
I agree with most of Tim’s assessment; the IETF is the most hospitable place for this. I’m happy to do whatever work is necessary, but I’d observe that unless a good chunk of the community is behind it, it’ll be useless, or even bad for RSS.
This is why I’ve been advocating a profile, rather than Yet Another RSS Spec; it’s more likely to converge. If we can get people behind a single, new spec, great - I’m all for it - but so far I don’t see that (despite all of the noise).
