(This is not really a public service and is likely to disappear at some point soon) The main features of this feed are: * Individual items are individual messages, not threads * the item title is the email subject line * the sender's name is put in a dc:creator element * there's no <description> which leads to behaviour that is very email-like in some RSS readers -- in particular the dc:creator is usefully displayed and the absence of a <description> makes SharpReader and Thunderbird (at least) display the full message from lists.w3.org instead. I prefer this approach, and I can let you or anyone else have the XSL behind it if you like. > cheers, > > Dan Ta, Ben --- ******************************************************************************** DISCLAIMER: This e-mail is confidential and should not be used by anyone who is not the original intended recipient.
