Discussion is filling the Syndication list at Yahoo! groups over a proposed public feeds file format. The idea of the proposed PublicFeeds.opml specification is that a website could display, in a commonly understood way, a list of all the feeds available. The proposal, which was defeloped to staisfy a specific use case generated by Yahoo!, has become a full-blown controversy, partially because it does not offer enough flexibility for may users (myself included) and partially because the usual RSS personalities are involved. This link is to the main proposal; see more notes and an implementation here.
