intertwingly

Which is technically superior: RSS 1.0 or RSS 2.0? I'll probably piss off both camps by saying this, but by now they are nearly indistinguishable. But which one is more widely deployed? It is clear that UserLand leads the way.

Suppose there is other metadata that Google would like to standardize so that everyone can benefit. What's the path to making such a standard a reality? Compelling apps are not enough: one needs to be able to ensure that there is plenty of content.

Does this necessarily mean that I'll host my weblog on Google's servers? No. Does this necessarily mean that I'll use Google's software? No. But, does this mean that I'll support widely adopted standards for metadata? Absolutely.

I can't wait.
