Um, both of those and especially the second are valid aren't they? The problem is that the types we need to define are a layer above this. eg type(MIME)=text/xml and then type(content)=RSS 2.0 Looking at the html4 spec, there's a mechanism to define new rel=link-types. So we could say rel="meta" or rel="metaindex" as long as that is defined in a <head profile="URI">. The problem here is mime-types. We've been playing fast and loose with mime types for years but it still hasn't got us to application/xml+rss_2.0 -- Julian Bond Email&MSM: julian.bond-/Fkc1E/MbsFWk0Htik3J/[email protected] Webmaster: http://www.ecademy.com/ Personal WebLog: http://www.voidstar.com/ M: +44 (0)77 5907 2173 T: +44 (0)192 0412 433 Your use of Yahoo!
