I have been leaning toward RSS 2.0, but this argument sways me to Atom, 
especially if the newsreaders can handle it. I just got off the phone 
with one of the clients that wants newsfeeds. He does not really care 
what type/version -- he feels it is a 'future' thing -- he is apparently 
correct.

What is holding Atom up? Where is in its growth to final (too early <--> 
very close)?

best,
