RSS History as state transfer
Sunday, 22 June 2003
Mark Baker responded to my thoughts on RSS history a while back, and I’m finally getting around to responding (nothing like a hotel lobby to clear your thoughts…).
I agree very much with just about everthing Mark says; RSS feeds should be modeled as state transfer. The problem is that the approach he advocates implies the semantics of that state transfer, and RSS isn’t nearly robust enough of a format, nor its implementations interoperable enough, to count on implied semantics. That’s why I wanted to make them explicit (even if thereby redundant).
