RSS moves a step The news that control of the RSS 2.0 spec was moved from Userland to Harvard Berkman was all over the Blogsphere today. The general consensus seems to be that this is a great move for RSS and that it will really help RSS move forward. I'm not so sure... Don't get me wrong, I do believe this is a positive...
