Microsoft Embraces RSS

Quick post:  That Microsoft was going to be doing something serious about syndication was a foregone conclusion.  That they're extending RSS 2.0 to support ordered lists (?) isn't the big news, IMHO.  That they're integrating per-user subscription support into their forthcoming platform is more significant.  They Get It; syndication is a platform, they have a team dedicated to RSS, and the thing that's really important to control is personal subscription data.

(The big question is, how long will we be waiting for Longhorn?)
