Poll results for syndication

[syndication@yahoogroups.com]

The following syndication poll is now closed.  Here are the 
final results: 


POLL QUESTION: RSS has a long and varied history; noone
(except possibly Netscape,
who don't seem to care) can claim to
'own' the name. There are Two
current, somewhat separate RSS formats;
RSS 0.9x, based on the later   
work from Netscape, and RSS 1.0, based
on the original, RSS 0.9.



This has caused problems in the RSS
developer community, and is
perceived to cause problems in the RSS
user community, especially as   
evangelization efforts try to move
forward. The proper course of
action has been the subject of much
debate; this poll is intended to
express the will of the content
syndication community, whether
developer, publisher and end user, in
the resolution of this issue.
