Sam Ruby points to the Road Map for creating a new weblog syndication format, developed as a joint effort by a number of impressive people. Being rather new to all of this weblog stuff, I've started out to find out what the motivation for this is; one of the best sources for RSS's history is written by Mark Pilgrim. I'll risk one prediction for the name, though: Unless someone comes up with, and the others agree on, a decent name or abbreviation, it's going to be called "Pie" - simply because people will start referring to it this way and there'll be no chance to stop it ;-)
