 Dare Obasanjo aka Carnage4Life - Tim Bray's Hypocrisy and Competing XML Formats
For those who aren't in the know, Tim Bray is one of the chairs of the Atom Working Group in the IETF whose primary goal is to create a competing format to RSS 2.0 which does basically the same thing.
In fact Tim Bray has written a decent number of posts attempting to explain why we need multiple XML formats for syndicating blog posts, news and enclosures on the Web.
Tim Bray's question is quite fair and in fact he answers it later on in his blog entry.

 Neopoleon : XML DevCon 2004 - #2 - Tim Bray
True, Tim, but it does have that weird button with the squiggly mark on it and an apple next to it that has to be pressed in conjunction with the option, control, and other fruit buttons to unfreeze Finder when it drops a load.
Tim's not happy with the fact that there are about 6.2 trillion different versions of RSS out there.
Tim's currently picking apart WS-Eventing to demonstrate that adding features/bulk that isn't immediately needed might be a trouble source for your attempt at standardization of a process.

 Tim Bray: On Threads | Lambda the Ultimate
Bray's comments regarding erlang and other languages are sure to annoy LtU readers.
Bray seems to think that by getting rid of SSC; Erlangers are throwing the baby out with the bathwater; Erlanger think that this particular baby is the problem itself; no matter how much scrubbing is performed in the proverbial bathtub.
So, my response to Tim's "maybe, but I doubt Erlang has it right" is "maybe, but I doubt Tim is right." Furthermore, if Erlang's concurrency model truly has fundamental inefficiencies, I believe that they can be overcome without resorting to shared-state concurrency.

 Taking XML's measure | Newsmakers | CNET News.com
Tim Bray and his colleagues in the World Wide Web Consortium had a very specific mission when they set out to define a new standard seven years ago.
The solution Bray helped concoct was XML (Extensible Markup Language), which has since become one of the building blocks of information technology and today serves as the basic language for disparate computing systems to exchange data.
Bray has since gone on to address another big challenge--the visual representation of data--with his company, Antartica, which sells tools that display information from Web searches, corporate portals and other sources in an intuitive map-based format.

Bray said that in his position as technical director in the software group, he will look to incorporate blogging software and content syndication based on the Really Simple Syndication, or RSS, format in Sun's software line.
Bray, one of XML's co-authors, said the new position came about during his job hunt, when he met with Sun software's chief technology officer, John Fowler, to whom Bray will report.
Bray, who has been active in the debate over syndication formats, did not specifically comment on a proposal from Dave Winer--commonly considered the arbiter of the RSS format--to move RSS to an Internet standards body.

A website Bray intended as a clever marketing trick to show off his Internet search engine got very sticky very quickly, one of only a few sites, early in 1995, to register a million hits a day.
“Suddenly, “ Bray adds, “we had a deal with Yahoo to be their backend, when they had only 11 employees.
“What we didn’t see,” Bray adds, “was how big that opportunity was.” Big enough that his and Bosak’s guerilla marketing efforts amounted to excessive force: “It was like throwing your weight against a door that turned out not to be latched.

Posted by: Tim O'Reilly at August 7, 2005 08:46 AM Web 2.0 might be great as an inside industry term, but I have heard it used with visitors at a tradeshow booth - and there were a lot of confused looks.

Tim Bray's slides for ApacheCon/US 2005 contained just five works: Derby, Threads, Beyond Java, Thanks.
While the Derby slide was on the screen, Tim announced that Sun will be using and supporting Derby under the name Open Java DB and Francois Orsini gave demo of Derby embedded in Firefox and scripted by JavaScript, cool enough to excite even jaded Ted.
For Beyond Java, Tim recommended the book of the same name, but took issue with some of the points (see his post on Beyond Java) and tried to stir some controversy by saying that threading features in Python and Ruby are "toys." Surprisingly, nobody took issue with this in the QandA that followed the talk.
