1) Rss Embedded in Html - Trying it on for size. A way to publish microcontent via html. Using Bob Wyman's approach of the SCRIPT tag to hide the content from browsers.
2) Very Prelim Structured Blogging Support - Fairly horrible support at this point. in fact, Bob Wyman would be fairly justified in asking me to not mention the term Structured Blogging in relation to the XML I'm outputting right now. Hope he doesn't punch me at the Syndicate Conference. It doesn't adhere to the standard much, but implementing it brought up a suggestion that I'd like to propose. Let's have a single tag underwhich we keep all of the structured microcontent. In this way we can define a set of base data that each entry must have. I'd propose the base fields of RSS. This gives toolmakers the ability to expect certain things like a GUID, permalink, title, description, etc. From there it's on to the wild west of datablogging inside of a tag like extendedBlogData or something. I don't care about the name, but I believe that having it at that level works.
3) XML Schema - Log types are now being exported to XML Schema. First step in the plan of lowering the walls to other toolmakers. Half trail blazing right now. I'd love to have another toolmaker to collaborate with on this one. Once the export piece is done I want users to be able to import XML Schema and have a log type defined. It can't be full XML Schema. It'll have to be a subset of syntax and will have to include certain elements. This is tricky because what I'm talking about is building an XML Schema to describe an XML Schema. I had some difficulty using standard jdom objects to build the XML Schema dynamically because they won't allow a namespace of xmlns. So I had to hack a simple replace() call in there at the end of the xml-generation. First steps.
