I can't understand the neverending FUDfest against Atom. Is Mr. Winer so oblivious that he failed to notice that the genesis of Atom was a direct result of one of his own, earlier, FUD campaigns (the "funky RSS" debacle)? It is possible to look back at the comments of this entry ( <a href="http://www.intertwingly.net/blog/1460.html">http://www.intertwingly.net/blog/1460.html</a> ) and see the exact point where the principal movers decided it was easier to start over with something else rather than continue to be subjected to vague threats and handwaving. Excellent post.

In fact, he and Andrew have taken it to a whole new level. More on this in a few days... Oh, Dave’s “funkiness” campaign is far from over. In fact, he and Andrew have taken it to a whole new level.

Hell, "RSS 2.0" isn't even one thing -- it's at least 3 incompatible formats (Dave just kept revving the spec without updating the version number to maintain the thin appearance of "stability").
