More thoughts...



Well. That's a lot of messages in one evening.


I don't think we're ready for a poll right yet. 


Question - 

How about 0.9x (all of them) keeps the RSS name, 1.0 goes to
RSS-Semantic?

This is a compromise. There is an argument that it will be confusing
to users, but no more than the difference between 0.9 and 0.91, I
think. It says that yes, the RDF tree came out of the same swamp, but
they're on a different track now. 0.9x arguably has the moral
advantage (to balance the half-name-change), as it is the root;
-semantic is a subclass, a special case, an anomoly, if you will.

RSS 0.9 might even be referred to as RSS-Semantic 0.9. Has a certain
symmetry to it.

Just putting it out there...
