Inside the RSS Validator

Mark’s latest XML article is up at O’Reilly:

 In previous columns, I have introduced RSS and explored options for consuming it. Now we turn to the production side. Last month I stirred up a small controversy by suggesting that RSS consumers should go out of their way to consume as many feeds as possible, even ones which are not well-formed. This month I hope it will be somewhat less controversial to say that RSS producers should go out of their way to produce feeds that conform to specifications as well as possible.

So what’s on tap for next month?

 Next month: something other than RSS.
