Okay so here's a question for ya:

RSS - what does it stand for?

I've always seen it referred to as Really Simple Syndication, like they say here. But I've found others (although not recently) referring to it as Rich Site Summary.

So, which is it? I know the original RSS format, a Netscape thing intended to assist in building news portals and delivering content, eventually grew and branched into differing “standards.” Is that where the terms split maybe?

Rumored:

in "RSS 0.91" it stands for "Rich Site Summary"
in "RSS 1.0" it stands for "RDF Site Summary"

  • in "RSS 2.0" it stands for "Really Simple Syndication"

So much for “standards.”

Not like it matters, really - but I was just wondering.
