Ignore the story, but do note the subject -- the International Press
Telecommunications Council (IPTC) has just ratified NewsML, a
packaging and metadata format for news distribution.

NewsML is designed to be content-agnostic, so it is equally capable of
packaging XML-encoded NITF news stories, Word documents, HTML pages,
video clips, or what-have-you, either encoded inline (probably base64)
or included by URI reference.

Look at

  http://www.iptc.org/NMLIntro.htm

and comment.  NewsML is in direct competition with PRISM, RSS 1.0, and
XMLNews-Meta, so news distributors have a chance to shop around a bit.


All the best,


David
