Changes to the Guidelines for Validating OPML.

A special thanks to Nick Bradbury at Newsgator for reviewing the previous version of the guidelines. I've already come around to his way of viewing one issue, and have implemented it in the guidelines.

The validator and the guidelines doc should be considered beta, it should not be evaluated as if it is set in stone. If you spot a problem, please post a note on the OPML weblog. The whole process is open, that's the only way to do it. The downside of being open is that some people will be confused and think the work is done. It's not done. Not yet.

The next item on my list is to write a plan for a new OPML type that unambiguously identifies a link as being an inclusion.

Thanks to Kosso for the excellent badges. I've updated the validator to use one of his badges instead of my hacked up attempt at graphic design.
