When it comes to syndication, you're essentially my customer. All I'd ask is that you get together with your peers and tell me what you expect from those "other formats" that you're got to continue supporting. If you do, I'll do what I can to make your life easier on my end.
I'll support any feed protocol that includes Channel-Item-Title-Link-Description as broadly described in 0.9x, 1.0, 2.0 I won't support any feed format that breaks these by changing the structure or renaming them until it's got a significant (like 10%) market share. Which really means that a feed I desperately want is only available in that format.
Please don't break CITLD.If feed protocol designers and authors want to experiment with extensions or added cruft then they should go ahead. While understanding that each extension is a standard in it's own right that competes for mind share and that succeeds or fails on the extent of its implementations. As long as you don't break CITLD, I can safely ignore you. Or join in if your particular extension interests me.
