That's the day, barring something unforseen, that OPML 2.0 will move from a draft to a final frozen spec.
If you plan to use OPML 2.0, or you're already using it, please set aside a few hours to carefully review the spec, between now and the end of September, or at the latest early October, to be sure it makes sense to you.
We're doing this very slowly and carefully so people will believe in the quality of this spec. If you don't think it's a good spec, now is the time to say why. Speak now or forever hold your peace.
You may not like the format, that's not the issue now -- it's the spec we're trying to finalize.
Thanks for your help! ";->"
