Just so.  While the RSS developer community may be a terrifying mess
-- stilettos in everyone's back and all that -- RSS as a spec (or
family of specs) is one of the few real successes XML can point to:
information in XML actually distributed online to lots of users.  I'm
not sure that the W3C, OASIS, IETF, ECMA, ISO, or any other similar
organization would be able to improve on that.


All the best,
