 | | The feed URI scheme was invented to deal with the problem of mainstream browsers spewing XML when a user clicked a link to a feed. |
 | | Now, I'll be the first to admit that the feed URI scheme was never a perfect solution to feed subscription, especially since clicking a feed:// link would cause the browser to display a cryptic error message when no application was associated with feed://. |
 | | Even worse, I often see RSS and Atom feeds which contain the same content yet identify posts differently (i.e.: the GUID for a post in the RSS feed is different from the ID of the same post in the Atom feed). |
