I've read your comment regarding changing the name for the specs which go under the name of RSS 1.0, I believe is the version - and the ensuing name rush at wiki/pie/. Apart from politics, or open code development, is the name RSS controlled by the originators?

Is it a matter of just saying that the RSS name is not available to anyone who wants to hack something, effective or not? Has any legal trademark action occurred, or been contemplated?

If Userland does not control the name, or just does not enforce it's right to it, it risks becoming generic, and I can call this post RSS 9.11 for any good it does.

Aspirin was once a trademark. Is RSS? Oh, and an aspirin a day, they say, is good for what ails ya'.
