Introducing OPML 2.0

by on March 1, 2006

I know I’m late in linking this. I was in a plane today and then doing a ton of other things. But, Dave Winer released OPML 2.0 and that’s worth a mention here. Why? Cause of his track record of doing specs worthy of mentioning. SOAP, XML-RPC, RSS, and now OPML. Congrats Dave!

  • My only question is how does OPML 2.0 and Microsoft's Windows RSS platform fit together? They seem to be doing the same thing?

  • Oh, so he's the SOB responsible for the mess that is XML-RPC? [noted]

    OPML is hardly a "spec", and it looks like round 2 is not much better. I can get work done with OPML formats because of convention (which is a terrible way to get things done, when not everyone will follow conventions, especially when said convention isn't really documented), not because of the "spec". Everything in the spec, practically, is optional, while you're free to add what ever the heck you want, which is what convention did to make OPML work for blog rolls/subscriptions.

    Give me a break already.
