A challenge, perhaps? Quoting Dare from earlier in the thread: [[ On the other hand, there isn't much I want from an XML syndication format that can't be done with one of the existing flavors of RSS (1.0 or 2.0) and extensions. So I won't waste your time listing the features I'd like to see in a syndication format. ]] That is exactly what I found exasperating, that his sights were set on what could be done already, not what could be fixed or *improved* over 1.0 and 2.0. People like Dare, Don Park and others are unlikely to see much benefit as long the group aims merely for lowest-common-denominator RSS 2.0, patched and rebranded. Ok, I think it would take considerably more than a months of Sundays to say, persuade Dare of the benefits of the RDF model or whatever, he has a strong naysaying streak. But if at the end of the day this WG doesn't come up with a deliverable that Dare could confidently take to MS and say "this is much better" then we've missed something.
