Step 10, as of writing, is an unresolved issue: "If, before the next ">", you find two xmlns* attributes with http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22- rdf-syntax-ns# and http://purl.org/rss/1.0/ as the namespaces, then the sniffed type of the resource is "application/rss+xml", abort these steps. (maybe we only need to check for http://purl.org/rss/ 1.0/ actually)" The first, and most obvious issue, is that RSS 0.90's namespace (<http://my.netscape.com/rdf/simple/0.9/>) should be an alternative for RSS 1.0's here. Secondly, testing current browsers, I've found that Fx2, Op9.22, and IE7 require both the RDF and RSS namespace to be present. Saf3/Mac requires just the |rdf:RDF| element. I'm yet to come across any site that breaks in Saf3 (if Saf2 used the same feed/HTML hysterics, I haven't had a single site break since May 2005) due to this sniffing, so I'm in favour of just putting | rdf:RDF| within the above table with a sniffed type of "application/ rss+xml" (which is simplest solution to this issue). - Geoffrey Sneddon
