Raw

Good example of why I grumble about full-content feeds : Cameron's material is really good, but his feed really clutters.

PS. just stumbled on this quote James spotted re. embedding XHTML in RSS :



XHTML will require more time and energy, and there's no tool support. Escaped markup is, what - esthetically unpleasing? It works, browsers (and other tools) understand it fine. XHTML is harder to produce, and tools don't support it. There's a simpler question though - to the end consumer of a feed, what's the benefit?

None. That's right, none. It will look the same either way. What about developers? Well, there's a need for new tools.



Plays the tools argument both ways, but I think the basic point is valid.

Jame's conclusion is :



An XHTML based markup will support the possibility of additional things layered on - but it seems like an awful lot of work for a presumed benefit. IMHO, it's not the simplest thing that could possibly work….
