Simple Sharing Extensions for Atom and RSS, SSE 0.94

Of course Microsoft has to do something to all these simple thing and make extensions so that nothing will work after that! (Kidding I have not tested or verified any of this.) Anyway I was going to write about (Just make links basically) ATOM 1.0. But this made it easier. All in here.

Overview

The scope of Simple Sharing Extensions (SSE) is to define the minimum extensions necessary to enable loosely-cooperating applications to use XML-based container formats such as Atom and RSS as the basis for item sharing – that is, the bi-directional, asynchronous synchronization of new and changed items amongst two or more cross-subscribed feeds.

Simple Sharing extends the following specifications:
Atom 1.0 - http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4287
RSS 2.0 - http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss

One of the guiding principles of SSE is to reinvent as little as possible(HA HA)—hence the use of Atom and RSS in this spec as the underlying format for exchanging SSE data. It is expected that there will be additional container format bindings for SSE in the future.
