			<outline text="OPML is a standard for RSS feed readers because we used it as the export format for Radio UserLand in 2002, the first popular feed reader app, and all subsequent products needed to be compatible. Shows how new standards are created , and if they're strong, still in use 20+ years later. There probably are slightly better ways to share feed lists, but OPML works well.
