I can definitely sympathize, but if Dave > and the others who created RSS had used CSV or an EDI-like format rather One ironic point about this particular case is that RSS presumably is under scrutiny simply because a recent version of RSS is based on RDF. However, Dave is quite notorious for not wanting RDF in RSS, and he even forked RSS to make sure that there was a non-RDF version he could use. In any case, I agree with your point that XML doesn't necessarily change anything in this case -- the same issues would apply even if RDF used CSV or some other format (like TimBL's "N3"). And I'm not going to even start about the "uniqueness" of coming up with a serialization format for the template: Entity "x" asserts that object "y" has characteristic "z".
