- The latest version of the Atom syntax spec is backwards incompatible w/ the previous version.
- The next version of the Atom syntax spec is already on track to be backwards incompatible w/ all other previous versions.
- There's no end in sight in the collaborative change of the Atom specs.
- The RSS advisory board has all but disappeared again. Dave once asked me what I'd do if I were on the board. I'm asking, what's the board doing?
- RSS 1.0 is effectively dead. Abandoned in favor of Atom by it's backers.
- Claims of RSS' inability to scale are monthly wolf crying events.
