Obasanjo: So this morning I decided to write an RSS News
aggregator.
My advice is to test it on
Joe's and
Shelley's
feeds. This requires two simple, albeit a bit unconventional,
rules: anything in the namespace of the DocumentElement is
equivalent to the null namespace, and items can be either inside or
outside of channels.
And then there are synonyms, e.g., dc:subject vs category...
Morgan
Delagrange: But it's moot if we abandon all rigor in our
dependencies.
Agreed. [Maven | Centipede] for daily development, Gump for
advanced warning.
One place I differ, however, is that I think that there is an
easier solution than requiring developers to perform extra steps.
All it takes is for people to take
notifications of gump failures seriously and follow
this
advice.
Meanwhile, a big thanks for all of your help this
week!

As promised, as of the end of the last year, I am no longer
updating 0101679.
The content remains, and the entries for the last month contain
both a prominent visual indication of the new blog as well as an
automatic redirect.
On the odd chance that any of the remaining
orbiting
space junk suddenly decides to reactivate, I'm posting the
contents of my intertwingly RSS 0.91 feed over at
http://radio.weblogs.com/0101679/rss.xml.
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet...
Good-night and joy be wi' you
Steven
Noels and
Ugo
Cei are discussing XML encoding of descriptions, using one of
my feeds as an example.
For starters, I do provide an
RSS 0.91
feed with encoded descriptions because that's what many people have
grown to expect. But I also provide an
RSS 2.0
feed with some added goodies and better conformance to best
practices. The descriptions have had their HTML stripped, and the
full content is available as content:encoded. Aggregators like
aggie do just fine
with this.
I have plans to provide a separate excerpt in the future.
