RSS has had a pretty complex development and actually points to two different standards. Up to now, I have been using Really Simple Syndication, but I could also support RDF Site Summary. Most feed readers will parse both RSS feeds the same way because they are pretty similar, and it is safe to call both formats RSS.

It seems WordPress-based sites provide RDF, RSS2 and Atom feeds natively. We should allow a format="rdf" for feeds and display a new icon for those. Existing agencies should be re-checked for the possibility of an RDF feed being available.

Since both RSS specs are so similar, I do not plan on providing automatic conversions as I would do for twtxt, CDF or JSON Feed.
