Re: [rss-media] Re: Media extensions
About a formal standards process, as far as I can tell the only two Bigs involved right now are Apple and Yahoo. Is there anybody else? We can assume that Y! would be pretty friendly. It's not a given that they would participate, but it's plausible. Apple, though, is a different story. Is there any reason to think that they would take it seriously?

CSS must go in the document head. Inline HTML or XHTML probably doesn't have access to the document head. XHTML doesn't have styling elements like font, HTML does. So there would have to be a provision to get CSS into the document head, which adds complexity instead of subtracting it. One thing -- my knowledge of XHTML is shallow, so I may be missing a solution to styling that doesn't require HTML. - Lucas Gonze

Both XHTML 1.0 Transitional and HTML 4.01 Transitional have font. Neither XHTML 1.0 Strict nor HTML 4.01 Strict has font. Then my point is moot as long as XHTML inline content may be XHTML 1.0 Transitional. A second argument that inline XHTML may be XHTML 1.0 Transitional is that it satisfies the need for well-formed XML. So there would have to be a provision to get CSS into the document head, which adds complexity instead of subtracting it. Why would there have to be a method for shipping CSS for titles and similar text constructs? Because having control over presentation is the main reason to format content as HTML. - Lucas Gonze
Re: PaceEnclosuresAndPix status
A suggestion on drafting of the pace: cardinality should be stated. The idea of multiple parallel elements formatted per PaceEnclosuresAndPix was discussed with interest, and the cardinality of RSS 2.0 enclosure elements has been written up and discussed quite a lot, so the cardinality of PaceEnclosuresAndPix should be explicit. - Lucas Gonze
