Distinguish between HTML/XHTML and plain text in a RSS description-element

Hi, Long version: Those familiar to the standardization nightmare of the RSS-family, may know that RSS does not provide you with information if for example the "description" element contains just plain text or html or xhtml.

The problem is, the way im currently detecting if the URL is a feed ...

Popularity of RDF format vs RSS

If you are building an RSS parser, how important is it to build support for RDF? Are any new feeds being published in only RDF? My thinking was that RSS 2.0 (and Atom) have replaced RDF. I actually had not heard of RDF until a client pointed out some feeds that are RDF-only. ...

Purely in terms of its conceptual model, is the purpose of Atom (and RSS) only to provide a time-sequential series of frequently-updated items, such as "most recent blog posts" or "last twenty SVN commits," or can Atom be legitimately used to represent static and/or non-time-sequential listings/indices? As an example, "index of files un...
