RSS Primers

I starred a post in Google Reader to come back to at a later date and blog about. It was something Steve Rubel wrote about the best primer on RSS that he's seen to date.

I must admit that I usually send people who ask me about RSS to the BBC primers either here or here.

I thought Wikipedia made heavy weather of it, even the section on "usage" (which is effectively the introduction) was a bit technical for the average reader; quickly descending into XML's, Atom's, and client sides.

I googled "RSS primer" and the number one hit also get's technical pretty quickly; less than a page in and we're looking at what an RSS file looks like.

Where do you send people for a good introduction to RSS?
