Re: [syndication] RSSify your web page

[Mark Nottingham <mnot@mnot.net>]

Before this approach explodes too much, it seemed like the RSSify
engine was *only* basing items on a <span class="rss:item"> tag, and
using heuristics to discover the rest.

If we're expecting a publisher to mark up their page, why not give
them better control over what becomes the title, the link, etc.,
rather than playing guesswork?

I thought that Aaron's original engine, and the W3C version [1] did
this...
