What is the relationship between RSS and the old CDF?
They always looked really similar to me. All the 'history of RSS' pages
never mention CDF.
If CDF is simple, and RSS is simple, and RSS gained traction because it is
simple, why didn't CDF gain traction?
I'm not trying to be obnoxious (today), I've just always been curious why
people (sort of) flock to RSS but never mention CDF.
