Microsoft adds order to RSS

On News.com Microsoft to bolster RSS support

“Lists are all over the place, and people are starting to move them around via RSS, and they are not the usual kind of data that has been carried by RSS in the past, influential blogging pioneer Dave Winer said in a posting late Wednesday. “The people at Microsoft noticed something that I had seen, only peripherally–that there were applications of RSS that aren’t about news. Like Audible’s NY Times Best Seller list, or an iTunes music playlist, or lists of Sharepoint documents, or browser bookmarks.”

Well, that makes sense.

Update:

Some meat on extensions to support lists.
