Ben Hammersley has an Etech 2005 Atom presentation in PDF. In the first few pages, he seems to try and make the point that Atom is simple like RSS, not complex like RDF. Does anybody actually buy his argument?
- RSS does not require use of namespaces. RDF does. Atom?
- Simplest RSS feed has 7 elements and one attribute. Simplest RDF feed has 11 elements and 4 attributes. Simplest Atom feed has 15 elements and 9 attributes.
I wonder what he says to spin this into simple.
