Dave Whiner wants bloggers to support his API.

<rant>
Why should we, Dave? Are there any technical merits? Pretty please is just not going to cut it.

I suspect that what you really want is control, and that is not about to happen. We've been down this road before. We all remember the RSS 2.0 fiasco.

We want to support open standards, not UserLand's half-ass standards.

That's the thing you don't get about standards, Dave, you have to relinquish them to the community at large. If you keep a tight leash, it just becomes proprietary crap that nobody really gives a damn about. We'll support them until something open comes along.

The time is now!

Why don't you stick to blogging about how much you miss smoking, and leave the technical stuff to people that genuinely care and truly understand technology.
