So is Ideagraph going to not import OPML, making it useless to anyone who
has ever used an aggregator before? And will it not export OPML, making it
the sort of dead end that anyone with a bit of sense and experience with
aggregators will avoid?

Battle cries in the Syndication Wars are fine when you know that everyone
listening knows that that's all they are, but in the other world, beyond the
battlefield, virtually every aggregator around will import and export OPML,
in one flavor or another, to one extent or another. OCS is much prettier,
and virtually unsupported.

Valuable contribution to the syndication community: search out as many
examples as you can find, detail the differences, put it on a wiki.

One more straw tilting me toward unsubscribing from my very last
syndication-related email list: well, you know ;)
