Bob: Well, off the top of my head... (1) If the lists are embedded as (X)HTML, then only aggregators that display markup will be able to do anything with them, and headline-only aggregators will be useless. (2) If the lists are embedded in a new extension of some sort, developers have to buy in to get even minimal functionality. Not so if the entries are list items... even a non-list-aware aggregator will be able to display *something*. (3) If the lists are embedded as (X)HTML, my options for re-sorting the list are somewhere between minimal and non-existent. In fact, the only benefit I can see (as a user) to lists-within-entries is the ability to easily archive the state of the list. But that's probably better left to aggregator developers to implement as a feature. -- Roger Benningfield
