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
