RE: Levels of abstraction.

Comments[0] by Dave in Blogging

Joe Gregorio posted an excellent essay on levels of abstraction and using content:encoded vs. xhtml:body in RSS feeds. While I don't really have a strong preference in this debate, I do find it very interesting that that Mr. Well-Formed-Web takes sides with content:encoded.

I would like to make it possible for Roller users to take either approach with their RSS feeds. BTW, Lance suggested a Roller enhancement today that should make it easier for those who choose the xhtml:body approach (ROL-191: Integrate JTidy into Roller).

Advanced sibling rivalry.

Alex, who is six and who can read, has a little brother Linus, who is four and cannot read. This weekend Alex was asking about names. "Does Matthew have a U in it?" he asked. "What about Leo?" After asking about the presence of the letter U in all of his friend's names and finding that only brother Linus has a U, he went back to his room. Later that day, we noticed the following sign on his door:

no budey cum in if you do have a u in side yor name. go a way u names.

What have I done wrong!
