RSS Profile Draft 1.21 Published

The RSS Profile draft has been updated to revise the suggestion for
implementers of the TTL element.

http://www.rssboard.org/rss-profile#element-channel-ttl

The last paragraph of the Recommendation now reads as follows:

"Because of these differences, aggregators that support this element
SHOULD treat it as a publisher's suggestion of a feed's update
frequency, not a hard rule. For instance, an aggregator that gives
users the ability to choose how often to check a feed could use its
TTL as the default value."

I'm going to test the profile against the current versions of
Bloglines, BottomFeeder, FeedDemon, Google Reader, Microsoft Internet
Explorer 7, Mozilla Firefox 2.0, My Yahoo, NewsGator Online and Opera 9.

If this appears to impact any recommendations, such as our Character
Data advice, I'll report it here.
