James Duncan Davidson: I have to admit, it is a bit amusing to think that I'm going to be putting a Perl based CGI up on my site. Especially after all those years of pushing Java Servlets.

Dave Winer: Disclaimer. What's done is done. I'm preparing feedback that I hope will enable RSS to more forward. More in a bit.

It is cool that Mozilla has a SOAP API. It could be made much simpler, however. Other scripting languages are doing it.

Simon Fell: Hey Sam, what about RSS 0.93 ? It looks like that version was essentially stillborn. Truth be told, I nearly was to the point of making a choice between keeping only one of 0.91 or 0.92 so that the data would fit on a reasonable sized screen. But by dropping the radio template and a suitable amount of CSS, I was able to keep all four to my satisfaction. Displays reasonably on both Mozilla and IE on my machine. Then I ran the result through tidy and I learned the importance of Choosing a DocType. Next time, I will start there.
