Re: Shipping Atom products prematurely

[James Robertson <jarober@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As a content producer, what advantage would there be in switching to Atom 
1.0?  Given that every aggregator supports (and will continue to support) 
RSS 2.0, and given that I want to make it as easy as possible to be read, 
what good reason would there be for me to switch?  Heck, what good reasons 
would there be for adding Atom 1.0?

This isn't intended to be a negative comment, actually.  It would be useful 
to have an answer to these questions - because the easiest thing to do as a 
content producer is exactly what I do now....
