The latest RSS Best Practices Profile was released yesterday (5.21.07). This is a good read for all you publishers out there – not to mention it will save me many headaches if you abide by these recommendations.
The big thing for us RSS Hackers is that your feed adhere to the proper data types – especially character data and date formats.
Editor’s Note: This profile contains a set of recommendations for Really Simple Syndication, a web syndication format documented in RSS 2.0 (revision 2.0.8). This document is still under development and has not been adopted by the board or any other entity involved with RSS. Public comments on these recommendations are welcomed at RSS-Public.
