It's a extension to RSS 2.0 and I tend to avoid RSS 2.0 feeds whenever possible, prefering the semantic richness of RSS 1.0 or the simplicity of Atom. There's nothing here that can't already be done with rdf:Seq or rdf:Bag in RSS 1.0 so I can't really see the point. Personally I think that Microsoft have made a mistake by focussing on RSS 2.0 when all the cool kids are playing with RSS 1.0 or Atom. > * If we started producing feeds which included Simple List Extension > tags, would you use them (both in terms of your interest in using > them, and having compatible parsers, etc, to pull out the relevant > information)? Well, I use the Perl XML::RSS parser to do most of my RSS parsing, and that already has support for arbitrary extensions, so I'll be able to use it if you start to publish feeds in this format. > * Are there any feeds you would like to see them added to - either > existing backstage.bbc feeds or feeds we are likely to implement in > the future? What I'd really like to see (from all feed producers, not just the BBC) is feeds that really make use of the potential of RDF (i.e. RSS 1.0) to add useful information to the items in the feed.
