Mr. Winer doesn’t *want* anyone to try and fix them. Atom was not
created because everyone wanted the glory of being spec authors
of yet another incompatible format, it was created reluctantly
because people wanted an interoperable feed format and RSS was
never going to be it on Mr. Winer’s emphatic insistence.
