So, who would have ever thought of RSS feeds on your iPod? Oh, yeah, I did(!). I wrote RSSiCal long before PodNews came out.

Albeit, PodNews does have a few other features. I think it is kind of a pointless app for subscribing to RSS feeds. I would much rather have my RSS feeds in iCal. Oh well. I always was the trend setter. ;-)

For those of you who use RSSiCal, thanks. For those of you who don't like it, let me know how I can make it better.

Leaving New Hampshire to the Libertarians, We now have another state to worry about: South Carolina. Christian Exodus proposes to move "thousands of Christian constitutionalists to specific legislative districts in South Carolina through a series of emigrations." While advocating secession from the Union (boy, that's gonna win 'em some black votes), their stated purpose is "ChristianExodus.org really desires the return of constitutionally limited government to the whole of these United States." Great.

Steve Johnson, one of my favorite writers, has a piece in the NYTimes about software that collaborates in the thinking process. He elaborates in his blog, complete with screen captures of DevonThink at work. The software does a semantic analysis of what Steve's written and his research notes. Now if only I had ten years' worth of research notes stored in my computer! (Maybe Steve would let me borrow his.)...

Another Thought Experiment

Another Thought Experiment 01/16/2004 01:04 PM

Mark Pilgram expresses his concerns about how some aggregators plan to handle invalid Atom feeds. Mark believes that rejecting invalid XML on the client side is a bad idea, and proposes a thought experiment in which all web browsers use strict XML parsers and refuse to display XHTML that isn't well-formed.

This is a bit of a bait-and-switch, though. XHTML has the whole sordid history of HTML on its back, and since browsers have generally been forgiving of even the most convoluted HTML there's a substantial backwards-compatibility issue. The XML-based Atom, however, is brand-spanking new, so it doesn't have the same baggage as XHTML.

So, let's try another thought experiment. I've copied Mark's Atom newsfeed and made it invalid XML by adding a single & character, then uploaded it to my site:

http://www.bradsoft.c om/feeds/badatom.xml

Mark asks us to "imagine that all web browsers use strict XML parsers," but rather than use our imaginations, lets see what happens when we browse this feed in Internet Explorer:

Hmmm...IE appears to be doing client-side validation, and it shows an error instead of displaying the feed's contents. Okay, so let's try Mozilla:

Looks like Mozilla does the same thing. How about Opera?

So, the most popular Windows browsers all perform client-side validation, and fail to display the contents of the invalid Atom feed. There's nothing surprising here, of course - any validating XML parser will reject this feed.

Consumers of RSS feeds have had to code around all sorts of validation problems in order to be backwards-compatible with existing feeds. Atom, however, is new, so customers aren't already subscribed to hundreds of invalid Atom feeds. Being well-formed is a requirement of XML, and Atom is defined as an XML format, so why not expect Atom feeds to be well-formed? Let's get it right this time.

The U.S. House of Representatives has before it an attempt to create a new type of intellectual property specifically for databases. Among the major concerns for libraries and other information providers to the "Database and Collections of Information Misappropriation Act" (H.R. 3261) are such questions as: Will performing interlibrary loans, preservation projects, circulating material, and/or creating bibliographies, or providing access to commercial and/or Internet databases violate its terms? Trouble is, there's no guidance as to what libraries, schools, and research and educational institutions can and cannot do with databases. The vagueness of the text and the lack of definition of terms used in the bill could lead to expensive lawsuits to gain judicial interpretations and limits on liability, according to opponents. The Association of Research Libraries says a key concern is "the fact that the legislation would create protection not only for databases, but for the facts contained therein. Such protection would be at odds with the U.S. Supreme Court's assertion in Feist Publications v. Rural Telephone Service Co. (1991) and in Dastar v. Twentieth Century Fox (2003) that copyright protection does not extend to facts."
