Re: [syndication] Introduction and Opinion

[Ian Graham <ian.graham@utoronto.ca>]

Hi Rick --

With a colleague here at UofT (Toronto, not Texas) I have been pursuing
this direction for a few months now, and have posted some messages on this
topic on this group -- to little feedback unfortunately. However, we have
soldiered on, and now have some reasonable notes up online explaining the
issues as we see them, and providing some very early outlines for a
possible XML syntax.  The notes are up at:

http://www.java.utoronto.ca/news/index.html

More material (outlining the rationale for some XML design decisions)
will go up later this weekend or early next week.  I'm very pleased
to find others who are interested in this same issue, and look forward
to some fruitful discussions on more generic syndication issues. 

Ian
