Thanks. Very interesting. I've heard of a few other attempts to replace RSS. My gut feeling is that we will probably have RSS around for a long time, since so many packages support it, and we don't want to loose connectivity to those sites. However, if any of the replacements start gaining popularity, we should look at including them as an additional form of syndication.
