RSS 3.0 stands for Really Sophisticated Syndication, and is compatible with RSS 4.0, RSS 5.0, CDF2++, MCF-5.0alpha (gold pro), XHTML (Adult), RSS 1.0 and MP3. Through the use of an advanced Reality Distortion Field RSS 3.0 maintains the illusion of simplicity and decentralised control whilst in fact being steered by a sinister consortium of machievelian publishers and metadata geeks. Coming soon, RSS 3.1415927 with HTTP 3.0(Pro) as a free download if you recommend it to a friend. ]]

RSS 1.0 does its own thing, and has never tried to mandate anything concerned with anything not calling itself "RSS 1.0". RSS 0.9x exists, and (speaking as a day-to-day RDF developer) it's a good thing too - an RDF based _anything_ hasn't been ready to fly until very recently, whereas useful XML apps. could be rolled out a few years ago. There are just two issues I object to: Any attempt to mandate "an RSS *.* group MUST / MUST NOT use RDF" (either choice, by any group) "RSS !=n" must stop calling itself RSS, because "RSS n" 'owns' the name. If RSS 0.9x wants to continue pushing the (XML / no RDF) route, then I certainly don't have a problem with that. Translation is easy enough, after all.

Yesss! I'm going to give these guys the benefit of the doubt that they don't realize that in most people's minds "1.0" is superior to "0.92".
