Here’s the News.com story.

This would be a good thing, in my mind. Let the standards (RSS and Atom) compete in the same spaces, and let the best standard(s) win.

And it makes Google a neutral party again. By electing to go with Atom and not support RSS, it definitely was a choice. It’s not like not supporting Netscape v1.1 anymore or anything like that.

Let’s hope this works out.

Needless to say, Dave seems happy about this development…
