I think I agree with Mark on this one. OPML, while perhaps not optimal, seems to make a bunch of sense for the content. Most tools currently in use support it, which provides an avenue for quick adoption. New formats mean new parsers. Even if they already exist, they aren't in the hands of users. While some people may upgrade software regularly, many don't. So adding it to new versions of existing products isn't a guarantee that it will see widespread use any time soon. OPML means it could be used immediately and enahnced as needed, instead of having to redevelop support for another format. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Fletcher [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2003 1:48 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [syndication] Feed List Format Continuing to stick my neck out... I think using OPML as the format for this new file is a *good thing*. Your use of Yahoo! Groups is subject to http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/
