Didn't we get enough of this fight 20 years ago? Let's not piss off Dave Winer again. Reminder: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worse_is_better

The three ways of encoding the string "<xmp>" in the title all look like awful gibberish to me.

Atom is better than RSS in the way Betamax was better than VHS. With the same outcome and consequences for practical use.

What? Not at all. RSS is a product category. Many RSS feeds are, if you look into them, Atom. Your RSS reader just doesn't bother to tell you, because why would you care?

Try putting a Betamax tape into a VHS VCR and see if you can watch it.
