The RSS Best Practices Profile is the RSS Advisory Board's normative guidance on producing RSS feeds that interoperate cleanly across the diverse population of feed readers. It covers character data, date formats, email addresses, URLs, element-by-element recommendations, and common namespace extensions including how to use guid, pubDate, and enclosure to avoid known interoperability problems.
