James Holderness: Twenty contestants! Thirty-one tests! Spanning three hundred years and fourteen time zones! ... Sorry, I got a little over excited there. These are the results of my RSS date tests.

Sobering.

Joe Gregorio: If you squint your eyes hard enough anything can be made to look like REST

Dave Johnson: That’s pretty weird alright, but they’re on the right track. They’re using Atom elements to model RSS.

It looks like Microsoft is actually deploying code which utilizes the Simple List Extensions namespace.  Sort of.

It appears that the SLE spec was updated a week ago today.  Unfortunately, none of the elements or attribute inserted by FeedsManager.Normalize() are actually defined by the specification.

Requests:

• Update the example in the spec to be valid.
• Document the elements and attributes which were added.  Oh, and produce a valid feed.
• Document what <cf:sort element="description"/> would mean in a context where the feed you get is not necessarily the feed that was produced.
