Though, I do disagree with Cad on one point: == bar is null is bar. The problem there, though, is you have to accept that "bar" is an expected value, which you can't with the specification. While there are... consensus... definitions of what people expect from OPML, all in all it is crap. Yeah, for all Winer is hailed as some kind of visionary, RSS2 and OPML are just horrible.

OPML has bugged me for a while, as does rss. The weirdness that travels with Winer has convinced me I'm going to shun both of them as much as possible. Looks like it’s all settled.
