I realize this is off-topic, but at the moment, my take on it is that real simple
syndication is real stupid for something that seems to be so widely talked about
and/or used. I mean, I see people putting RSS stuff on their blogs and whatnot all the
time, so yesterday I tried to do the same 'cause a friend of mine mentioned wanting to
be able to read the onTap framework blog on the bus on his way to work. All seemed
well except that where he's able to use hyperlinks from other folks rss feeds, he
doesn't seem to be able to use any of mine. So I went looking for an rss reader to see
if I could duplicate the problem. And what I've found is that, although there seems to
be a "work group" for RSS, the vast majority of RSS information on the web is found in
unnoficial (looking ?) sites with lots of circular links to poorly written documents
which don't really explain it, FAQ's that don't exist, and web pages containing only
the word "manganese" (try http://blogspace.com/rss/ and hit the first link at the top
that says "Content Syndication with XML and RSS weblog"). The only xml schemas I've
been able to find for rss (though xsd is _the_ standard for defining xml dialects like
rss) were not only written in an old version of xsd, but also didn't validate as a
result of using elements that didn't exist in the xsd or an xsd referenced by
namespace.
Anyway... If anybody on the list has any "real simple" rss information (as opposed to
the really incomplete, really complicated, really undocumented, really broken and
really not well maintained rss info I've found), I'd be greatly appreciative.
Thanks,
Isaac
