The insertion of encoded HTML into RSS feeds (allowed in 0.92 and 2.0, also done with 1.0 even though 1.0 doesn't allow it [1.0 does has mechanisms to allow tranmission of HTML more safely]) brings with it a large number of potential problems. One of these problems is that it allows every Bad Thing that can be done with HTML to be done with RSS, bringing all manner of accessibility issues. Even without this I don't thing RSS will solve many accessibility problems, it is ill-suited for the delivery of much of the content on the web. As great as RSS is I think it's more a case of yet another thing we have to make sure we get right than any sort of panacea. -- Jon Hanna <http://www.hackcraft.net/> "…it has been truly said that hackers have even more words for equipment failures than Yiddish has for obnoxious people." - jargon.txt
