obviously, rss is becoming some kind of xml pandaemonium... people are adding tags, version numbers and whatever they like to rss formats which somehow appear as standard but on the other hand are just one lonely member of a tiny crowd.

while some try to improve the quality of rss feeds, some others do incomprehensible (however amusing) things. mark pilgrim's feed is really entertaining to read but honestly, i don't get the meaning of a guid element which does not want to be a permalink.

could anyone please unite?
