Rebranding of RSS
Earlier today, Robert Scoble responded to Dave Winer's reaction to a request from Microsoft's developers to get input on what a new and improved RSS icon should look like and carry on it. He states that Microsoft "love[s] icons," but that's not a good enough excuse. Just because he's right about having "RSS" or "XML" on a button not being the best idea - universally - doesn't mean that it's something that should be voted on for Microsoft's implementation and other people to perhaps adopt, most likely further fraying any semblance of universal usage of yet another standard.
Sure, posting it on the MSDN blog is a great way to open it up for the public's input, but what about putting this "out there" for all to chime in on? Surely there's enough non-techspeaking non-English only people that would join in the fray and share some ideas.
