Re: [syndication] Re: [rss] [2000-05-11] RSSx "Straw-Man" (repost)

Howdy,

I originally drew up this straw-man on 2000-05-11 and posted it to the
[Alchemy] list on 2000-05-29.  While my thinking has changed a bit (more
on this later), anyone interested in reading my thoughts on the subject
may point their browser at:

There's also a live proof of concept available at:

I'm sorry we missed eachother in Amsterdam.  I look forward, therefore, to
taking a gander at what you'd like to put into the next generation of RSS.
I'm glad to see some forward momentum building and look forward to an RSS
that meets at the very least most of our needs most of the time.
