There's an article from 14 years ago that I remember to this day, mainly for the immortal line "RSS 2.0 is incompatible with itself": http://www.diveintomark.link/2004/the-myth-of-rss-compatibil...

It goes into some detail about the various RSS incompatibilities and is well worth the read, because RSS never really got any better even afterwards.

Perhaps with hindsight Atom should have been called RSS 3.0.
