"rssflowersalignright"A productive thread[1] on RSS-DEV confronts the
negativeness about RSS 2.0[2] head-on. This will go someplace interesting.
I left a big hint there in the way the blogChannel module[3] is designed,
patterned after the Syndication module[4] designed by the RDF folk. In other
words, the place where they're expressing discomfort with RSS 2.0 is where they
can make it their own. Lead. Instead of feeling disempowered, be powerful.
At one point I saw clearly where the compromise between RSS 0.9x and 1.0 was.
We could have gotten there in early 2001, so instead we get there in late 2002.
So what, not a big deal. Think about how much better it will be _when we're all
advocating the same format._ Visualize peace. That's basically what I did when
I did the 2.0 spec. I know it's hard to swallow, but swallow anyway. If I did
it, you can too.
