Cleaning up RSS 2.0

Rogers Cadenhead has started a mailing list that will attempt to clean up the ambiguities in the RSS 2.0 spec. This is definitely a good start. After that is complete, I think Dave Winer ought to consider working on a spec for the next version of RSS. There seem to be some shortcomings in RSS 2.0 that can't be resolved by a simple cleaning up.

At the same time, I'm starting to think that the Echo Project, or whatever it ends up being called, is not going to be widely adopted because it will not be backward-compatible with existing, successful technology.
