From what I've seen the most popular RSS formats are RSS 0.91 and RSS
1.0. I found an RSS 0.91 schema[0] online but am tempted to write my own
anyway since the use of substitution groups seems like overkill at first
glance to me. Of course I may be wrong.
Thanks for the pointer to Leigh's RSS 1.0 schema. I'll see if it meets
my needs although I'd probably prefer a W3C XML Schema schema (ah, the
redundancy) with embedded schematron for the places XSD cannot handle.
This is looking to be a fun weekend. :)
