<p><a href='http://www.somebits.com/weblog/tech/bad/atom-vs-rss-wtf.html'>Nelson Minar</a> starts a meme.  <a href='http://rc3.org/2008/06/13/pick-one-feed-format/'>Rafe Colburn</a> waters it down.  I’ve watered it down even further.</p>
<p>Whatever you call your feed, Safari will call it RSS.  Don’t sweat the small stuff.</p>
<p>Which format should you pick?  I’d suggest that you pick whichever one that you can consistently produce with the fewest errors and warnings detected by the <a href='http://feedvalidator.org/'>feedvalidator</a>.  Test with <a href='http://www.intertwingly.net/stories/2004/04/14/i18n.html'>Iñtërnâtiônàlizætiøn</a> and <a href='http://www.intertwingly.net/blog/2006/07/14/Another-Month'>ampersands</a> in titles.  <a href='http://groups.google.com/group/feedvalidator-users/browse_thread/thread/3dfdad4905b72f9b'>June</a>, particularly in the <a href='http://www.timeanddate.com/library/abbreviations/timezones/eu/bst.html'>UK</a> is also a good time to test.</p></div></content>
