Huh? I don't understand. The RSS 1.0 people have created a new spec, that's
open, where everyone can play and add what they wish. You're welcome to play
there too. They're not making any rules, just giving people a chance to add
-- something that wasn't there before. What's so wrong about that.

I want to hear your point of view! Please share it with us. I don't quite
see it yet (sorry, I'm a little slow), but I'm willing to try and
understand. Please help me out and explain things to me.

This is what we want to prevent -- please explain what you don't like so we
can work together to improve. Let's not start out trying to fight, at the
very least do me a favor and explain why you're so unhappy. I just want to
understand.

Thanks,
