Re: Comment on post 321
Dave, the funkiness issue has been explained many times, and should be obvious for anyone who's done enough file format work: if you use extensions, don't use extensions instead of the corresponding baseline elements. A feed is "funky" if it uses an extension to provide information that can be expressed by baseline elements, without providing the corresponding baseline element. Or in other words, a feed is "funky" if it deliberately hides information it has access to from applications that only implement the baseline. Providers should strive to maximize interoperability, also with future applications, instead of just looking at what "most current clients" do. And IIRC/BTW/FWIW, Ben's already said that he's aware of the problem, and that they're going to fix the "MT funkiness" in an upcoming release. All in order to give clients a choice, and maximize interoperability.
