RSS Fears Eased
There are about a million comments I want to make about Dave Winer's decision to relinquish ownership of RSS 2.0 to a non-profit group, but let this suffice:
This is a very good thing, and a very good gesture by Dave, who - to be honest - has a lot invested in RSS, has a lot to lose by releasing it, and a lot to gain by releasing it.
History will tell, but this is a good move for damn near everyone.
I started tuning out the RSS flak about two months ago; the rhetoric ... well, it was rhetoric.
Don't need that.
Need specs. Standards. Blah blah blah...
This will help.
Like/dislike/indifferent to Dave, this is a generous and most excellent move.
Thanks, Dave.
