RSS Linkity Links

I thought I'd drop in the links that I found on RSS 2.0:

• RSS 2.0 Specification
• Extending RSS 2.0 with Namespaces
• Content Feeds with RSS 2.0 (IBM)
• Dave Winer's RSS 2.0 Political F.A.Q.

I've been thinking about how to use RSS to shuffle around the data, and I think that it's going to this: on script that publishes the XML to the web, and a separate script that doesn't output anything, but returns useful values. the publish script will pull from the functions script, and so will anything else that wants the data. I mentioned this last night when I posted, but it definately seems like this is the way to go, so I thought that I'd mention it again.

I've worked up a test RSS feed that validates, that I'm going to use as a template. The neat thing that I'm doing with it, I think, is using the <guid> field as a link back to the bookmark or group edit page, and the <link> field as the bookmark or group link proper. it seems to fall into what the spec meant to have the guid field used for, I think. this should work just fine with groups or bookmarks.
