dive into mark: "history of the rss fork", "the case for simplicity".

sam ruby: "adding namespaces to the rss 2.0 spec was a bold step that may break a number of assumptions that tools were making, but mades possible a large number of innovations and creativity"; really simply syndication.

rss.benhammersley.com

dave winer: "philosphy in re: rss 2.0" (summary: "it's a format, not a standard").

"the road to rss 3.0 as seen on aaron swartz"; aaron's amusing 3.0 spec.

conclusio: nothing new, yet. sticking with 1.0 and a cup of tea.
