Feed Description: James Robertson comments on Cincom Smalltalk, the Smalltalk development community, and IT trends and issues in general.
YB Normal comments on the Atom syndication format. He's got lots of critiques and suggestions. His two main gripes are on the <link> element (especially the madatory nature eof it) and the lack of OCS style aggregation support. Something occurred to me while reading this critique - Atom more or less assumes a weblog, while RSS does not. Given that, I expect that Atom won't easily gain traction - it's narrowed its focus too much. Go read the critique - it's worth a few minutes if you care about the syndicated content world.
