I didn't mention it before because I didn't think anything would really 
come out of it, but I think having anything to do with OPML (as anything 
but feed subscription lists) is a bad idea. OPML is as badly designed as 
any of Dave Winer's RSS formats. If you absolutely MUST use some sort of 
outliner language (why use an outline for complete docs anyways? it's 
like storing the pages of a PDF in HTML format!), try OML.

When OPML started becoming big in the RSS world, there was a lot of 
crucial staring into its void, and a lot of people ranted about its 
suckitude. For example:

As the URL mentions, another standard was created (as were other RSS 
formats, and eventually Atom) to fix all the idiocies of Dave Winer:

  http://oml.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/blosxom.cgi/news

Even with that, though, I'm not too much of a fan for it, because it's 
an XML standard without namespaces, and that's absolutely retarded (it'd 
be like, like, HTML without links! yeah! <g>).

Anyways, hi. I'm the cranky XML geek!
