By JAMES ADAMS Yesterday we released changes that allow script writers to catch namespaces in RSS 2.0 feeds. This is part of a pass we're doing over UserLand's aggregator to add features, performance and depth now that RSS 2.0 is deploying. This feature is part of the depth. Here's how it works. You can, by adding a script in the right place, have a script "catch" an element of any namespace. When it appears in a feed the user is subscribed to, your script runs, it can store the information in the compliation table for the feed, or act on it in any way it wants (it could download a file, play an MP3 file, make a phone call, anything a script can do).

That said, consumer response has been basically non-existent. I've often referred to DAB as a solution in search of a problem. I wonder how the American adoption of an incompatible standard will impact the Canadian market. Not a good situation. .< 9:26:33 PM >TEC Award Winners Announced Read more [Digital Pro Sound News] .< 9:26:16 PM >Retrospect Updates Add Jaguar Compatibility (10-Oct-2002; 1K) [TidBITS] .< 9:24:39 PM >Islamic parties surge in Pakistan poll.
