Apple Caught Cheating on RSS Standard
Tom Sanders writes on vnunet.com:
The Photocasting feature of Apple's updated iPhoto application violates numerous internet standards, several dignitaries from the RSS community have pointed out.
"The 'photocasting' feature centers around a single undocumented extension element in a namespace that doesn't need to be declared. iPhoto 6 doesn't understand the first thing about HTTP, the first thing about XML, or the first thing about RSS. It ignores features of HTTP that Netscape 4 supported in 1996, and mis-implements features of XML that Microsoft got right in 1997. It ignores 95% of RSS and Atom and gets most of the remaining 5% wrong," stated Mark Pilgrim, a software developer who tested the feature in an effort to document it.
