1.	One of the key features of RSS 2.0 is its extensibility. Any developer can add new modules to the format and lobby other developers to support their extensions. In a phone talk with AOL developers last week we encouraged them to take the lead in multimedia and community extensions, areas where they have expertise, and power due their enormous installed base.
2.	The RSS advisory board offers its help to any developer who has a vision to extend RSS. There's room for infinite innovation in this most popular XML-based format. It's already a very rich vocabulary, and every developer has the power to extend it.
3.	So things are looking pretty good. The RSS 2.0 spec is almost universally supported, it's extensible, and now the spec is distributed by a non-profit with a fresh slate in the world of technology. The spec can circulate freely thanks to the Creative Commons. Things are looking up. I think my work with RSS may be coming to a happy conclusion. Getting pretty close.
