as part of the rss story i mentioned, i asked ian davis to run 
his rss survey script again for me for xmltree.com's db, and he 
came up with the following figures (may 3, 2001):

Version    Num   Percentage  
RSS 0.90:  1275  44.7% 
RSS 0.91:  1488  52.1% 
RSS 1.0 :  86     3.0% 
RSS 0.92:   5     0.2% 
Total  2854 

By Ian Davis, CTO of Calaba Ltd. (and Internet Alchemy).

So RSS 0.91 is the most popular format at xmltree.com, with 
0.90 coming in a close second.
