Don’t forget posting things other than blog posts and text. You want to post a photo? Sure you could embed that in a blog post I guess. A video? now it’s getting tricky. Maybe use Atom enclosures? Posting multiple photos to be shown as a carousel like instagram?

Don’t forget that RSS is by definition unable to evolve to include other richer post types than just blog posts. Atom you could start to shoehorn other things into by adding namespaces and such. But does anyone really want to keep writing XML?

  Meanwhile, Pingback has nothing to do with Atom/RSS and has always worked with arbitrary web pages. That too was XML for literally no good reason, so that’s been simplified into the Webmention protocol
