IMO It's better that Firefox supports them even if the sites using (and users reading) those feeds are minority. More info on: - ESF : http://www.aquarionics.com/article/name/esf - RSD : http://archipelago.phrasewise.com/rsd - RSS 3.0 : http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/000574 Examples: - http://beaneater.org.uk/syn/all.esf (ESF) - http://www.ragingplatypus.com/rss30.txt (RSS 3.0) - http://www.aaronsw.com/2002/rss30 (RSS 3.0) Reproducible: Always
RSD is a discovery stub for editing APIs, not a feed format. RSS 3.0 was sarcasm. Actually, so was ESF, though not quite so much. ragingplatypus.com was sarcasm. Very much so much. It's farbetter for users to discourage producers from doing "here are my feeds in twelve different formats, seven of which you've never heard of, with roughly the same content but subtle differences: enjoy choosing one!" I'd strongly urge wontfix.
