Does the world need another version of RSS? Probably not, but this development has been inevitable ever since RSS 2 was frozen. The new specification makes some logical changes to RSS 2 - most notable is the addition of ratings and category elements. Read more about it in the blog. Also, there's an eWeek article available, a Register article, Slashdot discussion, and many more links in the blogosphere. Reaction has been mostly negative, with many writers pointing out that since Atom was accepted and published as an IETF proposed standard last week, it will take over where RSS 2 leaves off. Of course, the community is a bit jumpy since Google filed to patent RSS ads and Microsoft tried to rename the format.
