There are about a million comments I want to make about Dave Winer’s decision to relinquish ownership of RSS 2.0 to a non-profit group, but let this suffice:

This is a very good thing, and a very good gesture by Dave, who – to be honest – has a lot invested in RSS, has a lot to lose by releasing it, and a lot to gain by releasing it.

History will tell, but this is a good move for damn near everyone.

I started tuning out the RSS flak about two months ago; the rhetoric … well, it was rhetoric.

Don’t need that.

Need specs. Standards. Blah blah blah…

This will help.

Like/dislike/indifferent to Dave, this is a generous and most excellent move.

Thanks, Dave.
