Child elements of character data can be moved around too.

XML elements can contain both text and child elements. Character data didn't have to be stored in an attribute to allow outline nesting. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <node> <node>

If someone wanted to extend OPML into another domain, even if they got others to agree on their proposed type value and the new attributes added to support that type, there's nothing to stop a collision with somebody else choosing the

I love love love XML, but when I encounter an effort to use it to carry presentation like HTML alongside executable code -- such as Apache Jelly -- I regret the choices that brought me to that place in my life. I wouldn't call OPML a g

I wouldn't call it underrated. OPML is useful because people use it, but it was a bad design decision to store long blocks of HTML inside XML attributes instead of XML elements. Look at the escaped HTML inside these "text" at

Atom is a great feed format with a rock-solid spec. I wouldn't call it a weird mashup for WordPress to use atom:link in their RSS feeds. It does things no RSS element can do, such as allow a feed to identify its own URL. For those who

I think the inspiration was that an atom is a foundational building block of matter and a lot of things could be built with a well-specified universal feed format and publishing format. The time spent debating names, disqualifying names, re

I wouldn't say that an Atom feed is an implementation of the "RSS concept." That muddies the water too much. Because RSS and Atom are distinct feed formats, calling an Atom feed "RSS" would confuse a lot of people.

As part of the RSS Advisory Board, I enjoyed the history lesson. The W3C should keep publishing the RSS 2.0 specification along with the RSS 1.0 and Atom specifications in the documentation for its Feed Validation Service. It can also repub

Mastodon looks workable to me. Choosing a Mastodon instance is like signing up for an email provider. Email is decentralized and seems to be doing alright. I picked an instance that was good-sized at 9,000 users with a focus I liked: indiew

Regarding your blog entry, I don't think it's instructive to compare the way adults respond to an extremely blunt spoken person to your child being bullied. Stallman's an adult who doesn't pull punches -- he described Steve Jobs as "evil" r

I thought that recess part was weird too. Bronx Science had recess? There were seven future Nobel Prize-winning physicists pondering the universe on those teeter totters.

Richard Stallman is one of my heroes in tech. He's a deeply fascinating and amazingly obstinate thinker who should be Walter Isaacson's next book project. But does he really need anyone's help fending off bullies? A guy who described Steve

That would be a neat trick, since RSS was created at Netscape a full year before Winer got involved. http://www.rssboard.org/rss-history Over time, the number of Internet technologies Dave Winer didn't invent approaches zero.

People who say "failure is not an option" are hopeless pollyannas. Success does not happen because you refused to accept failure as a possible outcome. Success is a product of hard work, talent, timing and luck in varying measures. I've fai
