As far as I remember, this poll reflects the mixed feelings that we had
about changing our name and what did make the difference is that we had,
among the group, some of the original authors of RSS 0.9 who said they
cared about keeping that name.

Their point was that RSS 1.0 was carrying more of the original
motivations and design principles of RSS than the other branch and
AFAIK, this is still true.

I can see you point and think your suggestion should be considered if we
ever publish a new version of RSS 1.0 but I don't see how we could
justify changing the name of a spec that hasn't changed.=20

What about asking to Tim Berners-Lee if he wouldn't mind changing the
name "Web" (as in "Web 1.0") because it's causing confusions with Web
2.0 :) ?
