I Like Pie

The RSS community has gone through a difficult weekend as Dave Winer pulled his Scripting News site from the web for a few hours in order to muster support against the new Echo initiative (the name, once 'Pie', will change again because of conflicts). In a response to Aaron Swartz (now apparently offline) Winer decried this article, by Tim Bray, as "awful." The article is an explanation for the need for the new initiative, but while it touches technical and political questions, I certainly don't see the offense detected by Winer. For my own part, I remain neutral in this debate; I will support both formats (or, more accurately, all five).
