 The myth of RSS compatibility [dive into mark]
In April of 2001, Userland released a draft of RSS 0.93, which they claimed was compatible with RSS 0.92 and their flavor of RSS 0.91.
RSS 0.93 shares the same content model as RSS 0.92, and is therefore incompatible with all versions of RSS prior to 0.92.
RSS 2.01 shares the content model of RSS 2.0, which means it is incompatible with RSS 0.94 and all versions of RSS prior to RSS 0.92.

 RSS 2.0 specification

 RSS (file format) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
RSS is used to provide items containing short descriptions of web content together with a link to the full version of the content.
RSS is widely used by the weblog community to share the latest entries' headlines or their full text, and even attached multimedia files.
Others disagree, arguing that the underlying structure of RSS is that of XML and therefore compatibility is achievable through XSLT, which the RSS aggregator would apply anyway in order to make the RSS feed presentable to users.

 DaveNet : What to do about RSS?
RSS is a simple XML-based syndication format started a little over a year ago.
We put our energies behind RSS, even though I feel that RSS is imperfect at modeling Web content, its core philosophy is rooted in the model of print publications where there are articles with titles, descriptions and bodies.
To me, RSS is not just a syndication format, it's also a fork from the W3C process, a chance for XML to be widely adopted while the minds of the W3C working groups work out details of a network that will likely not be built.

 » RSS: The new intranet protocol? | Between the Lines | ZDNet.com
When you strip collaboration down to its bare essence, you have people, you have some record of their collaboration (eg: documents), and generally, there’s some way of letting those who are collaborating know when something has happened or is about to happen (notification).
With RSS as both the notification mechanism and the content subscription mechanism, you basically have a single technology that takes e-mail, e-mail attachments, and far too many round-trips (of email, to fully facilitate the collaboration) completely out of the equation.
RSS obviates the issues of spam, as the premise is pull rather than push.

Because RSS feeds are constantly available, the load on servers is to a large extent spread throughout the day rather than peaking when email newsletters are sent.
The inherent design of the RSS protocol means that when an RSS feed reader program is used no software can be installed on your computer, nor can any modifications be made to the files and settings stored on the computer.

These applications are crucial to the success of RSS in the enterprise and should become part of the standard operating environment for all staff.

RSS helps you manage that workflow by enabling you to approve or deny the request, view the details and status of the request, keep statistics and print reports on the requests.
The RSS borrowing workflow consists of a combination of mediated and automated events that use status codes to indicate where the request is in the process.
RSS has been designed to handle a number of "exceptions" in the workflow, for example, an item being recalled early or a pending request is being cancelled.

 Marnie Webb's Blog: 10 Reasons Nonprofits Should Use RSS
RSS allows you to tap important, relevant, even mission-critical information by enabling the creation of feeds based on keywords (how this happens varies but there are a variety of tools -- PubSub, technorati, feedster -- that you can use and many aggregators integrate with those tools in way that allows you to create searches).
One of the nice things about RSS is that information comes to you in manageable chunks: a NYTimes headline with a sentence-long article summary; a complete weblog entry; a teaser for a longer weblog entry; the pointer to a newsgroup posting; an email announcement list; events.
RSS also lets more community members listen meaningfullly to each other, tuning out the negative messages and stereotypes of mainstream media.

 TeledyN: The End of RSS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
That's the intent, but the reality depends on many things, not the least of which is an assumption all these RSS readers are paying attention to the caching headers, and properly obeying the fine points of protocol...
RSS may have the potential to be a saver on bandwidth, but when you are getting hit once an hour or more by thousands of sites, 24,000 extra hits ads up, and it's all the worse when so many are using broken clients that ignore the caching rules.
If the worst offender really is all those Userland clients, and maybe this applies to the other RSS readerwares emerging in their wake, maybe these companies should be encouraged to proxy their client software through their own servers enroute to the RSS host site.

 Tim Bray: The Garibaldi of RSS
Two of the versions, RSS 1.1 and 3.0, were created as protests to how things developed on other versions of the protocol.
"RSS is clearly the most successful application of XML (define) in terms of the volume of data surging around, lives being touched and economic changes being made in publishing industries, but there's a lot more friction than there ought to be," said Bray.
In 2003, Winer declared RSS 2.0 finished and frozen and said all future development should be done on Atom, which was an IETF project.
