Yup, sorry I forgot XMP briefly; but yes that + RSS1 are significant, even if "old fashioned". XMP in particular is very hard to update because the files are all out there in the wild. I'm not sure we gain much by making some of our biggest and earliest backers look retro. Doing ordering in a binary relationship structure like RDF, especially with all the open-worldism and data mixing, is always going to be a challenge. We'd do better issueing friendly guidelines and examples and tutorials, than issuing grand proclamations about how people's REC-following data is broken / obsolete. cheers, Dan
