People who reinvent RSS often say they did it because it was missing a feature they needed. We anticipated that, there’s a section of the spec that explains how you can extend the format so there’s no reason not to build on existing standard instead of starting over from scratch. This way you get more interop sooner, your product might work with other products right out of the box, and save time for other devs who want to be compatible with you. People should study the internet, how it developed, ts philosophy, before they go off and try to re-create it, it rarely works and what a waste of time and effort. What’s the point? #
