| This is actually a really interesting question of how suitable RSS is as a
| hypertext replacement. I guess my initial issues would be that RSS seems all
| too tailored for linking to pages that fit the news or editorial paradigm.
| Perhaps this is only a concern for earlier versions of RSS (.91) and not
| later versions. 

I can't imagine RSS as a hypertext replacement, but it's an
interesting adjunct.

I'm now using a hacked[2] version of rssviewer[1] on a daily basis and
I recently banged together a script that runs nightly to turn my Palm
"todo list" and upcoming appointments into a feed. It's helping me
keep on top of my schedule, and anything that helps me do that is
valuable to me :-)


                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
