This is Sharing?
Microsoft introduced the term shared source, and now seems to be extending their unique idea of “sharing” to syndication.
The first attribute that the the Simple Sharing Extensions for RSS and OPML is to “treat the item list as an ordered set”. This sounds like something from the Simple List Extensions Specification that was also hatched in private and then unleashed with great fanfare about five months ago. Sure a wiki was set up, but any questions posted there were promptly ignored. The cone of silence has been so impenetrable that even invoking the name Scoble turns out to be ineffective.
Now the Simple List Extensions Specification URI redirects to an ad for vaporware. Some things never change.
Should we wait for version 3.0?
