RSS was so badly designed that early versions weren't actually valid XML. I never understood why anyone used it after Atom was created.

- account42 1y agoBecause people care about publishing or getting updates, not about the thing delivering them being valid XML or not. RSS works. Atom splitting the standard into two probably did more harm than good. In the end it doesn't matter since every reader supports both and both do the job well.
