[GEEKY]Latest RSS standards goings-on
If you are interested in this kind of a thing, Adam Green has a nice summary of the latest dust-up in the world of RSS.
We will be paying attention to the new RSS spec, contributing to it and if at all possible following it. For a small player like BlogBridge though, there is no percentage in preferring one spec over another.
In our world we follow Postel’s Law (which I learned from Dave Winer) which basically says, in reference to formats and protocols: “be strict in what you generate and liberal in what you accept“. As a small player we can’t and don’t try to drive the standards. Instead we try really really hard to interoperate with everyone.
BlogBridge will never blame a bug another product’s poorly formatted RSS or their non-standard OPML parsing. Our users just don’t care.
