rss revisited.
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.
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.
