Given that Prism is made up of all the major CMS vendors, it would be
worth infiltrating the group to prompt them to include RSS as a subset
and hence make it available to every site that uses them. ISTM that the
PRISM group are trying to solve a different problem entirely, even
though the source material is the same. As you say, it's curious that
the letters "RSS" can't be found on any of the major pages on their
site, even as a ref.
