Re: [syndication] friendlier feeds

[Mark Nottingham <mnot@mnot.net>]

I agree; however, there isn't anything on the table. Part of the
problem is that namespaces don't cleanly identify documents; a
namespace only uniquely identifies *elements*. For example, RSS1.0's
top-level namespace is that of RDF, not RSS1.0.

The proposed registration for application/rss+xml allows a version
number or a namespace URI in the 'revision' parameter to address
this, but that's only good for this particular application.

Cheers,
