I have yet to take more than a quick scan through the proposed RSS 1.1 specification, but I too noticed that backwards step. As a proponent of RDF and of RSS 1.0, I also noticed several other backwards steps* that I'll have to dig into when I have a bit more time. (* Even more constraints that make it even less useful to RDF-based systems, which makes no sense given that non-RDF systems are obviously going to go with Atom, leaving RSS 1.x in a position to become more RDF-focused, not less.) > Atom is now the only vaguely sensible format going. Other than RSS 1.0, of course. :) Jeremy Gray
