While I was away, Dave Winer added the New York Times as a Radio-only newsfeed.

I must say, I don't like the idea of this much. What we need is to convince content producers that RSS feeds are a good idea in their own right - that they'll be worthwhile because they'll draw people to the site to read the stories. Syndication is supposed to be open formats and open doors. It shouldn't be closed doors and exclusive deals to ship more proprietary syndication software.

I'd have been far happier if Dave had announced that the New York Times had, on his evangelism, started publishing public RSS feeds. It's an uncharacteristic shortness of vision.
