Atom is basically RSS' successor, fixing some ambiguities in RSS' (lack of) spec.

  RSS 2 would've been far less confusing

    Unfortunately not. “RSS 2.0” is the current version of old rss

      Okay, fine; call it RSS 3.0

        But do you ever saw newer version that is simpler ? :) With less features or not-backward-compatible or without mechanism for plugging developed in future extensions... Making complicate protocol simpler require process equivalent to rewrite in software. Re-architecture the basics. It is more then seldom to the point you can think all that complications are intentional. One example of simplification that happen in IT is UTF-8. But it was more a replacement and big companies didn't switch anyway...
