RSS 1.0 Specification Proposal
------------------------------

Abstract
--------
RSS ("RDF Site Summary") is a lightweight multipurpose
extensible metadata description and syndication format.  RSS is
an XML application, conforms to the W3C's RDF Specification
and is extensible via XML-namespace and/or RDF based modularization.

Design Goals
------------
The modular extension of existing RSS through XML Namespaces and RDF
stressing backward compatibility with RSS 0.9 for ease of adoption
by existing syndicated content producers.
