syndication-3.txt [as XML] (old version; August 2000)

An initial stab. This uses standard XML (no RDF, minimal use of namespacees), and encodes most data as element content, rather than as attributes. There are some unresolved issues, such as whether or not data should be inherited to "inner" aggregated syndication messages inside an outer one.

syndication-4.txt [as XML] (old version; Sept 2000)

A second stab. This also uses standard XML (no RDF, minimal use of namespacees), but encodes more data in attributes. There are still several unresolved issues, such as whether or not data should be inherited to "inner" aggregated syndication messages inside an outer one, adn how to properly 'type' data blocks (i.e., MIME types, data encoding ,etc.)

draft-lang.txt [ as XML draft-lang.xml] (Current draft version: 2 October 2000)

This is a pretty-well finalized draft, that provides a DTD defining basic structural rules (but note that this is not really an appropriate constraint tool, since it can't properly constrain values of attributes. Note that this does not use RDF or namespaces for core features, although the intention is that these would both be used (and needed) to define extended functionality.

draft-lang-12oct.txt [ as XML draft-lang-12oct.xml] (Current draft version: 12 October 2000)

This differs only in some typographic corrections, and elimination of PICS-related markup.
