Dan Gillmor: in a vote yesterday -- about whether to create a new RSS validator -- Simmons and Udell were the majority saying no.

There clearly is a lot of RSS news today, and I'll let it settle down before commenting on the rest of it, but this seemed safe to  comment on now.

So... apparently there won't be a third RSS validator.  But... will the UserLand validator become maintained again?

To reaffirm statements made previously:

• I fully intend to continue to contribute to the feed validator, tracking to any consensus that emerges as to revised RSS specifications, profiles, and best practices.
• This validator is open source.  Others are welcome to contribute to it and/or create derived works of their own based on this code.
