"...programs will express compatibility in terms of products, not formats. Then you'd have to use one aggregator to read BBC feeds, for example, and another to read SF Chronicle feeds." Well I guess we didn't have to wait too long for that to happen.

Funny - I have Evan's Atom Feed (and boy, does it have a lot of errors!) and Dave's RSS Feed in BottomFeeder - no need to use a different application to read both. This, even though I've posted extensively on what a huge waste of time I think Atom is. The bottom line is, it doesn't really matter what I think. My users are going to want to read Atom feeds, so I implemented support back when the spec was at 0.2. I now support 0.2 and 0.3. Looks to me like Dave needs a better aggregator....
