I strongly agree with the point that wyclif is making. Dave has a bad habit of self-promotion, and he needs to be called out on it. The myth that Dave invented RSS is an especially extreme example.
Back on October 4th, 2006, I wrote up a fairly thorough overview of the controversy surrounding RSS: "RSS has been damage by in-fighting among those who have developed it". I documented in detail the extent to which David Winer interfered with other people's work, while claiming credit for that work. Please read this if you do not know much about the history of this conflict:
