More details for those that asked: rdf and xml (I should've said xml, not rss) are both variations on RSS formats. Each mailing list at The Mail Archive has both feed formats available. For example, the gossip feeds are:
rdf: http://www.mail-archive.com/gossip@jab.org/maillist.rdf xml: http://www.mail-archive.com/gossip@jab.org/maillist.xml The rdf file is the 0.9 standard for rss feeds, while the xml file is the 2.0 standard for rss feeds. If you don't use an rss reader or take advantage of the rss bookmarks in browsers like Firefox, then neither of these matter to you. Our thought is that all modern rss readers support both formats, so we don't see the point in offering both. Just looking for feedback from any others that use the rss feeds. Thanks.

Does anybody have a strong preference on which one they use? Does it matter to you? Are they virtually interchangeable? We're considering dropping one. Thanks.
