 RSS 0.90 Specification
RSS 0.91 Specification
Developed by Netscape. Written by Dan Libby.
An excerpt taken from the original netscape site.
Files must be 100% valid XML. We're trying to move towards a more standard format, and to this end we have included several tags from the popular <scriptingNews> format. We have also ensured that this version is 100% valid XML. We did this by requiring that a DOCTYPE tag be included, and validating each RSS document against that DTD. This means that it is not enough for an RSS document to be "well-formed". It must also be "valid" with respect to its DTD.
No mixed content tags. We are specifically not including any tags that contain mixed content in RSS 0.91. This means that each tag either contains sub-tags only, or text only, not a combination. This is both because we want to keep the format simple, and because our current validation system is not able to handle this type of tag. We also are not allowing any HTML markup beyond the commonly used entities such as " A full list of these are defined in the RSS 0.91 DTD.
