Why RSS is (or should be) as irrelevant as HTML
"Users should never have to think about how RSS or Atom feeds are formed, or even the difference between RSS and Atom. They should click a "syndicate my content" button in their publishing tool and a "fetch content from this source" tool in their aggregator and it should work, whatever the common formats are. If Aunt Mabel even has to remotely think about reading or writing an RSS file in its raw XML form, then the software developers have failed miserably."
