YMMV. Heh. I'm with Dan on this one - RDF/XML is easier to read with the Class/property convention. (Or following the CDF precedent, all elements shouting ;-) Generally, this does seem like a pretty reasonable improvement over 1.0, but - this should have been RSS 2.0! I anticipated 1.0.1/1.1 to be max-compatibility bugfix only, so this this version came as a bit of a surprise. It doesn't seem to have direct compatibility beyond being RDF & XML. I won't try to speculate what this means in the world at large... I'm not sure about the containment business. I don't think the justification of syntax similarity to RSS 0.9x/2.0 really counts for much. What's needed IMHO is the expression that *all* the items from all feed documents from that URI are in the same container or collection. I don't think having lots of 15-item Collections will help (I hope to be proved wrong). Personally I'd probably have got rid of <items> altogether, and added a <inChannel> property to each item. If order's needed (is it?), make it explicit with <previous>. I'd also have the channel URI as the feed rather than feed or homepage. What might well be useful are normative mappings from/to Atom, RSS 1.0 and RSS 2.0. Cheers, Danny. -- http://dannyayers.com Yahoo!
