Fwd: [syndication] SSR simplifications (was Simple Semantics Resolution - RSS 2.0 Module)

I think this is worthy of note in the RDF/SW community. Dave Winer has, 
in the past, been openly hostile to the Semantic Web and RDF. However, 
when someone goes to the trouble to remove the need for RDF/XML syntax, 
while preserving the model, he welcomes it with open arms, and actually 
gets excited about it.

I suspect the response from many other SW nay-sayers would be similar 
if this type of approach were more universally adopted...

Cheers,
