>> MDaconta@aol.com It is obvious there is literally a competition over the syndication problem domain between RDF and an application of XML Schema. >> Not at all. There's a competition over a brand name that no-one seems to own but a few people seem to want. >> Besides the tragic tug of war over who's solution is "better" - I believe the real tragedy is RDF losing a battle that it should not have fought. I believe that Dave Winer, wielding the "simplicity sledgehammer", will defeat RDF as a more widely adopted solution to simple syndication. >> Dave Winer's forked RSS twice by looks of things. He has a good point about simplicity. On the other hand from a technical viewpoint, it's not RDF that matters here, it's actually Dublin Core. having RSS not use DC is probably shortsighted. Preserving simplicity versus including Dublin Core is a different argument altogether. because the thing is, Dublin Core is simple. If RSS 2.0 could find a way to leave Dublin Core in place, that's a win-win. Bill de hÓra -- Propylon www.propylon.com
