At least till today there exists RDF, RSS 0.9x, RSS 1.0, RSS 1.1, RSS 2.0 and Atom 0.3. nnrss supports RDF/RSS 0.9x/RSS 1.0/RSS 2.0 well enough especially with latest changes committed. In Gnus Info, this fact is not mentioned clearly. Just say to support RSS is not enough for this crazy world. I suggest to list formats explicitly in *Gnus Info*. I wonder if Atom support is planned. At least from NG reading and Google search I can not find any information. And in *Info*, I think wording below is not true: ,---- | An easy way to get started with `nnrss' is to say something like the | following in the group buffer: `B nnrss RET y', then subscribe to | groups. `---- If you follow this to browse a RSS source from a single blog site, you'll get a blank group buffer. I dare not to say it is wrong. I guess it's for those RSS collection sites as moreover/syndic8 etc. For a single blog site, G R is the best and only way. I think this should be clarified in Info.
