		<outline text="HTML Directories">
			<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://radiodiscuss.userland.com/htmlDirectories&quot;&gt;I edited the docs&lt;/a&gt; for HTML Directories, to bring them current with the new features we released yesterday."/>
			<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://radiodiscuss.userland.com/discuss/msgReader$2209&quot;&gt;Then I started&lt;/a&gt; a discussion of how we can move forward with HTML Directories, as a community thing."/>
			<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://radiodiscuss.userland.com/discuss/msgReader$2212&quot;&gt;Mike Donnelan posts&lt;/a&gt; the first directory for a weblog. Every weblog needs a directory, imho. "/>
			<outline text="I linked to his directory from &lt;a href=&quot;http://directory.userland.com/weblogs/blackHoleBrain/index.html&quot;&gt;my directory&lt;/a&gt;. I'm willing and ready to trade flow for bootstrapping the directory. "/>

A you-message renders your personal evaluation of the other person's motivation, character, parentage, etc&quot;"/>

		<outline text="Mimetypes and OPML">
			<outline text="We did some refinement on OPML yesterday. In the &lt;a href=&quot;http://radiodiscuss.userland.com/opmlSpec&quot;&gt;spec&lt;/a&gt; we say that the mimetype is text/xml. That was not well-thought--through enough. "/>
			<outline text="Yesterday we changed the way the built-in server in RU serves OPML content. We now look at the Accept header. If text/x-opml is in the Accept list, we return it as XML, otherwise we return the content of the OPML document as text/html. "/>
			<outline text="This means you can hit a RU server with a Web browser, read an OPML file and see something meaningful. It also means that the outliner can be used to author HTML code for direct display in a browser. Clearly that's what will make the most sense to the user, so we went that way. "/>
			<outline text="However, in the cloud, on ourfavoritesongs.com, we always serve OPML files as text/xml. That's essential for features like HTML directories, which build on linked OPML documents. If this doesn't make sense, don't worry. It'll usually do what you expect, without you having to think about these issues. I'll add a note to this effect to the OPML spec later today."/>

			<outline text="Last night I had dinner with Adam Bosworth, one of the founders of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.crossgain.com/about/&quot;&gt;Crossgain&lt;/a&gt;. He swore me to secrecy on their plans, but it sounds interesting, we'll cover it here, and we shook hands on working together. I told him if they supported OPML we'd automatically work with them. That was enough for a handshake. "/>
			<outline text="I owe Adam many &lt;a href=&quot;http://davenet.userland.com/1997/11/25/Thanksgiving1997&quot;&gt;thanks&lt;/a&gt;, when he was at Microsoft he &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.infoworld.com/cgi-bin/displayStory.pl?/interviews/980325bosworth.htm&quot;&gt;lead&lt;/a&gt; their XML work, it was his persistent evangelism in 1997 that got me involved in XML. "/>
			<outline text="I also am friends with their CEO, Todd Nielsen, who I got to know as Microsoft's top developer relations guy. He was in some tough spots, and always had integrity and listened. Good traits for a software CEO."/>
