Pondering those web technologies that may change the future of the world wide web.

I've converted my rss 2.0 feed from <content:encoded> to the more bandwidth and xpath friendly <xhtml:body>. It looks like gotdotnet and blogx users will soon follow. Hopefully the owners of the wellformedweb and w3future weblogs will take notice.
The updated feed is valid, and it uses namespaces in exactly the way that rss 2.0 and xhtml intend. I've tested it with radio and syndirella. [Sam Ruby]
Very interesting, this certainly is an improvement, and very much in the spirit of RSS 2.0. I tried to implement this with Radio's RSS callback feature, but only string values (and attributes) are allowed. One small note: Maybe xhtml:div is better, because xhtml:body only allows block-like elements.
