Re: [syndication] Re: RFC: Clearing confusion for RSS, agreement for forward motion

I think the proposed roadmap was really clear.

We're going around in loops here. View my proposed roadmap as a spec. See
what it says.

I don't want to carry the RSS name forward. Leave it alone, stop trying to
make it something that it's not.

What it is is just fine. That's what I've been saying for over a year, but
it doesn't seem to be getting through.
