Re: [syndication] question about versions and compatibility

["Dave Winer" <dave@userland.com>]

You ask a couple of questions.

1. RSS 2.0, like 0.9x requires a version attribute on the <rss> element, so
no problem there. Version 1.0 doesn't have an <rss> element, and as far as I
know, does not require a version. It and version 0.90 are the only ones that
have a top-level <rdf> element. You probably have to dive into the structure
below the <rdf> to figure out which version, 0.90 or 1.0, you're looking at.

2. The designers of 1.0 apparently didn't like elements like <webMaster> as
you note they are not present in the core of 1.0, but they have been moved
into one of the modules.

Hope this helps.

Dave
