RSS 1.0 is a branch from RSS 0.91 that incorporates elements from the W3C’s Resource Description Framework or RDF (http://www.w3.org/RDF/). Some folks didn’t particularly like this branch to RDF because they saw it as too complex. Nevertheless, RSS 1.0 is now a popular format for RSS documents, running a close second to RSS 0.91, according to http://www.syndic8.com/stats.php?Section=rss#RSSVersion.
