Which RSS?
OK. Point well taken. But I guess the answer to that question (since
I'm just looking for _any_ info) is "any". :-)
Although, I s'pose "2.0" would be a starting point.
As someone who once wrote an RSS parser, RSS cannot be considered to
be an XML format, it only has remote similarities to it (some feeds
more remotely and some much more remotely).
Additionally, RSS does not support namespaces, and so you can't embed
it directly in XMPP. However, you could escape it and include it as a
text blob:
