I wish I could downvote this. It's amazing how people still give attention to Dave Winer. Haven't we gone through this before?

This reminds me of Winer's past griping about the world not adopting his version of RSS (http://backend.userland.com/davesRss2PoliticalFaq). If your standard is open and superior, hackers will use it. If they don't, spend your time innovating on The Next Big Problem instead of insisting that everyone else doesn't get it.

The only feed consumers that do not support Atom are controlled by (and solely used by) Dave Winer.

Brad Fitzpatrick needs to prove he cares about the web?

To Dave Winer?

This is ridiculous.

Never trust a man who thinks every paragraph of his blog is worthy of an individual permalink.

"... every paragraph of his blog is worthy of an individual permalink ..."

No but think of it this way. Each idea can be linked. The fine grained linking is possible because Dave uses an outliner for ideas ~ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outliner

Dave's obsessed with them ~ http://www.outliners.com/

Purple Numbers: http://www.eekim.com/software/purple/purple.html http://www.burningchrome.com/~cdent/mt/archives/000190.html http://community.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?PurpleNumbers

As noted, his blog is published through an outliner, so this is a logical side effect.

It seems like it's a feature of the blogging engine he uses. All his posts are marked up as such. It is easier to make specific references that way.
