Don Box's RSS profile

Don Box : Here's my suggestion for where to start. I won't
even consider calling this a profile until consensus is reached
over on Sam's site (he has comments, neither Dave nor I
do)
Don, please update the last line of your proposal to point to
this blog entry. I'll comment on it below.

Don, I added dc:creator to items in my comments feed in support of NewsGator users .
The reason why I chose dc:creator instead of author is that I don't always have a valid email address.

Profile RSS
Don,
Here are my opinions on your profile
1.) /rss/channel/item/title
- sounds fair
2.) /rss/channel/description
- making it mandatory if no title is a good idea. The fact that both title and description may be missing is very irritating. I don't see why you think the description should have the same size restrictions as the title.
3.) /rss/channel/item/pubDate
- I hate RFC 822 dates. I suspect the .NET Framework's System.DateTime class doesn't support a number of the variants. However since this is only subsetting RSS 2.0 I see no reason to not mention it although I'd prefer it deprecated and replaced with dc:date
4.) /rss/channel/item/guid
- this element is a stupid hack that should die an ignoble death.
5.) /rss/channel/item/link
- this is where the profile goes off the deep end. Not only do you imbue the less commonly used semantics on an existing element [links to citation instead of site feed originates from] but also add a new mechanism for resolving relative links (xml:base) which again isn't directly supported on my primary platform of choice. If you want to see how to resolve relative URIs read Tim Bray's post at http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200"
