- We may want to think more about a DTD for the XML format
Eeeek!!!
DTDs are soooo last century. XML Schema and/or RelaxNG are probably the items to consider. However... leveraging an existing standard such as some of the RSS ones might be best.
Ahem, you were the one that brought it up! ;-)
"<JonCruz> everytime some software reads an XML doc, it might be looking to the web for the DTD"
But yea, reusing RSS maybe makes sense. I think martin has a few extra fields beyond what's in RSS though.
Actually... incorrect RSS implementations are the poster child for this. They were supposed to use the URI as just an identifier, but instead treated it as a live web resource. Thus when the one site stopped hosting the RSS DTD at a given spot, readers died left and right.
