Ken,

Here's something we can agree on -- we are going around in circles, perhaps
by design ;-)
My final comments below, I will let you have final say, need to get back to
work.

No, I clearly stated that both groups have original RSS authors in them. My
point is that there are two groups, both involved in the original RSS
effort. One group wants to keep RSS basically the same, one group wants to
make significant architectural changes (good ones I might add). The group
that wants the changes should rename. BTW, what is your definition of a
fork?
