internet gods and myths. rss is suffering a high school grad personality crisis.
rss war? or an attempt to find a purpose?
it seems that everybody in *what is rss?* society have that feeling about rss and blogging in general. there's definitely *something*, but... what is it exactly?
fed up with concept of a *killer app* and *bleeding edges* rss is finally graduated from a high school and is ready for a big time... overwelmed with an excitement to find that purpose and be a well addmitted business or even common humanity player along with http, html, and other *gods of internet*. what am i gonna be? tinderbox, clevercactus, radio userland and manila symbiotic ecstasy, or maybe amazon search agents
it's a technology. so it has its practical purpose: it seem that almost everyone agrees that rss 2.0 is good for *manually* crafted xml feeds and rss 1.0 was posed to be good for programs and for *industrial production* of xml feeds, therefore it do not require readability, but conformance with formal *specification contracts*. both are now waiting what the_thing_had_been_known_as_echo will put on the table and demonstrate what it can do *better* than two those *colledge sofamors*. meanwhile none of bodies mentioned, yet become more than news update feeds, along with pop3 and nntp, the only differnece that rss are carrying xml-ized hypertext and each message is hyperlinked to some source web page. it's time to grow again little buddy...
btw, readability is important when it is necessary to fix a bug in xml. and that's it... i always thought if xml produced by the program the cost of a bug (or manual mistake) is less than when xml is crafted manually. another purpose of readability is during attempts to *hack* some *undisclosed* xml semantics or figure out what's the hack are this data about...
and xml in the raw form will never be read by Mrs. Wong
