"Dave Winer, a fellow at the Berkman Centre for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School who is commonly considered the arbiter of the RSS (Really Simple Syndication) format, proposed on his Scripting.com Web log that the format could merge with Atom, a competitor launched in the summer," reports CNet.
"Sam Ruby, an IBM software engineer who launched Atom last summer as a way of bypassing what he and other critics called Winer's de facto control over RSS, appeared receptive to the idea. 'As long as it's under the IETF, it's fine,' said Ruby. 'The IETF has a good history of dealing with personality disputes of all types, and I imagine we'll work through them.'"
Winer's post is actually on his Test site, here.
