In the immortal words of Mark Pilgrim, “He is, of course, kidding. At least I hope he’s kidding.”

He was referring to Aaron’s RSS 3.0 spec, but I’m referring to Mark’s <blink> suggestion. Small, domain specific changes, are why we like namespaces. Have you considered perhaps using a <link> element with DCMI Qualifier, Type=”Quirky”? (Type, used to categorize the nature or genre of the content of the resource.) And how you’ll write documentation for those of us born after the golden age of vinyl?

And do you pronounce it “blngk” or “b-lngk”?

I can’t understand how some people (this is not directed at Mark) can on one hand argue for the simplification and clarification of RSS, and on the other hand support a format where tags get added willy-nilly. But if you are going to support such a format, can it at least include the stipulation, “If people want to add an element to RSS, then just send it to [Aaron] and [he’ll] add it to [the] list of all elements in use.”

….but if I was going to get involved, I might point out that Morbus need to work on his sense of humor, I’ve thought this ever since he joked about shooting his girlfriend, while Dave has serious angerissues, but Bill has always been great the few times I’ve corresponded with him.
