I did wonder why Dave W put "XML" on the button and not "RSS". I guess
XML implies that there's something here that's cool, but I'm not going
to tell you what. You should read the XML file to find out. It's a bit
more generic.
Some time ago, I asked if there was any sort of convention for naming
RSS files and there isn't. MyFile.rss.xml seems logical but I'm sure
there's arguments why that would be wrong. Regardless of what we would
like to happen, the file naming actually out there is all over the
place. .xml, .rss, cdf, .rdf etc etc.
And then there's all the other XML type files. Are we going to see
.wsdl, .xlt, .xsl, .dtd and so on and on, and on (and ariston).
