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

  XML was just due to the era. It works, especially if the tools do it on my behalf. I deal with it all the time in the world of insurance. "It is what it is." But you've given me some things to think about re: WebMention, etc. and I appreciate it. Good feedback.
