There is continuing confusion about the namespace for the itunes:* elements.
The first spec (PDF, offline) claimed it was
http://www.itunes.com/DTDs/Podcast-1.0.dtd
The second spec (http://phobos.apple.com/static/iTunesRSS.html , dated
2005-07-07) claimed it was http://www.itunes.com/DTDs/Podcast-1.0.dtd
, but the sample RSS feed uses http://example.com/DTDs/Podcast-1.0.dtd
(example.com instead of www.itunes.com)
A quick grep of the iTunes application (
http://www.intertwingly.net/blog/2005/07/05/Insensitive-iTunes#c1120616329
) shows that it uses http://www.itunes.com/DTDs/PodCast-1.0.dtd , with
a capital C in PodCast.
Further tests (
http://feedparser.org/tests/wellformed/itunes/uppercase_namespace.xml
) show that the iTunes application treats the namespace as
case-insensitive.
I have three questions:
1. What is the correct namespace for iTunes 4.9?
2. Do you plan to publish a revised spec that matches iTunes.app's
actual behavior?
3. Do you plan to change iTunes' namespace handling in a future
version to be case-sensitive, as required by the XML Namespaces
specification? http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/#dt-identical
