Tim Bray: Standards have nothing to do with innovation; a good standard is what happens when an industry has basically shaken the bugs out of a technology and then, after the fact, writes it down. This is true of all the really successful standards: grams and meters, voltage, the calendar, octane ratings, TCP/IP, XML.

Tim says its time for standardization of RSS, explains why and asks who will do it. Sounds like he favors IETF. Don Box likes OASIS.
