I have a longer reply in Yahoo Groups limbo. In case it doesn't make it, here's the short version: The RSS-DEV Working Group has no responsibility to change RSS 1.0's name because of confusion with RSS 2.0. I think a name change would enable RSS 1.0 to reach a bigger audience and clear up the version-related confusion in RSS. Calling it RSS for the Resource Description Framework (RSS-RDF) lets you still descrive the format as RSS while gaining a more specific name that capitalizes on the association with RDF. --A8m21DmSObiZazZy7qsvNKJ7T7amz4OfWIiHp1y Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> </head> <!-- Network content --> <body style="background-color: #ffffff;"> <!--~-|**|PrettyHtmlStartT|**|-~--> <div id="ygrp-mlmsg" style="width:655px; position:relative;"> <div id="ygrp-msg" style="width: 490px; padding: 0 15px 0 0; float:left; z-index:1;"> <!--~-|**|PrettyHtmlEndT|**|-~--> <div id="ygrp-text"> <p>--- In <a href="mailto:rss-dev%40yahoogroups.com">rss-dev@yahoogroups<wbr>.com</a>, "Bill Kearney" <ml_yahoo@..<wbr>.> wrote:<br> > Ah yeah, right.
