Good morning sports fans!
Worthy of note -- RSS, the embattled spec of the
XML world, has suffered yet another blow..
Yesterday everything RSS-related disappeared from
Netscape.Com. Apparently they did a total redesign of the server, and lost the
spec, the DTD, all the channels and CGIs, even the directory entries on DMOZ
are broken this morning.
It's been an interesting scramble to put it back
together. Some RSS developers are completely broken because their parsers depend
on the DTD. We learned the importance, this morning, of having a good second
source for these things.
We found the DTD [1], and luckily we did our own
RSS 0.91 spec [2] last summer, allowing IETF-style excerpting and
replication.
Whew!
Dave
