http://www.snellspace.com/wp/?p=545 James Snell lists three issues concerning documenting Autodiscovery on a wiki with a Creative Commons license. 1.) IP Protections This is interesting for a couple of reasons. One is that Mr. Snell previously claimed that the document has "nothing to do with my day job" [1]. The second is the complete absurdity of worrying about IP protections on HTML tags that make an orange button appear. That said, we should take this seriously. Do James Snell or IBM need to disclose any IP related to RSS and Atom autodiscovery? 2.) Structured Process Mr. Snell points at RFC2026. This is an individual draft. There is basically no consistent process. Anyone who claims otherwise is trying to deceive you. This group already has some good examples of the way RFC2026 is interpreted in practice. It would be very disingenuous to claim it constitutes structure. 3.) Well, whatever. ;) a little confused, Robert Sayre [1] http://www.imc.org/atom-syntax/mail-archive/msg19142.html
