The specifications for RSS 0.91, 1.0 and 2.0 are easy to read and understand, especially if you are not responsible for implementing the small details. Indeed, Dave Winer's specifications (RSS 0.9x and 2.0) are designed to be as easy to read and implement as possible, at the risk of being looser and less specific.

RSS 0.91: backend.userland.com/rss091

RSS 1.0: web.resource.org/rss/1.0/spec

RSS 2.0: blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss

For some added perspective on RSS, you should look at Dan Bricklin's “about RSS” (and related files) at rss.softwaregarden.com/aboutrss.html and Tim Bray's introduction to RDF at www.xml.com/pub/a/2001/01/24/rdf.html.

The W3C's introduction to RDF is at www.w3.org/RDF.

Finally, you can download XML::RSS from CPAN, the Perl archive network, at www.cpan.org.

I have been having a hard time getting my arms around the whole syndication feed issues until I read your article. It had the right amount of detail for me. I'm looking forward to reading your article on ATOM too. ATOM is what blogger uses. You inspired one of my blog posts and so I thought I would let you know.
