Re: Comment on post 321
Suppose a software developer wants to write a new piece of software that does three things: 1. newsfeed generator, say for a weblog, 2. newsfeed parser for displaying content from other blogs, 3. an aggregator that enables filtering on title or body for particular search terms. The software developer doesn't want to reinvent the wheel, and wants to play fair with as many of the existing standards as possible. Where is the best place to get acquainted with the current standards? Where are the best specifications posted? How many standards are there now for accomplishing the above with XML? Is it possible to abstract from the politics and write something that will be useful two years from now or is it unavoidable in this case? Human Observation: It isn't entirely a bad thing that an explanation in terms of People is necessary here and not just Specifications or Programs, as long as the People involved are more helpful than the inanimates.
