"Dave" apparently enjoyed my comment on RSS although he is not sure what I meant.  Thanks Dave for assuming the best intentions.  Let me try to explain before I get entraced by some new ideas.  RSS 1.0 was a mistake in my view because it took too big a leap of change and it anticipated too much.  Ignore RSS 1.0 and evolve RSS like the way you have with RSS 0.94.

"Dave" also disagreed with my comment that a weblog system can be written over a weekend.  He is right in a way.  First, there is no clear set of minimum functionalities for a weblog system.  I can graft simple CMS features into my Docuverse server over a weekend and call it finished, but a system like that is never finished.  It keeps evolving and new features are added at every turn.  For example, I could get a way with using textarea for post with customer markup hints, but an in-place WYSIWYG XML editor like Xopus is great for posting.  Radio is a great example.  New features are added constantly and no end in sight.

Rephrasing my previous comment: a programmer can get into years of trouble over a weekend.  There and Back Again in Blogspace.
