Atom 2.0 is an IETF standard and RSS
RSS rival, Atom just got approved as an IETF
standard - like a proper technology.
You can read all the entire spec here. While
Atom has certain
syntactic differences, they are same the same
concept - Web Feeds. Which incidentally, happens to be what MSFT has chosen to
call its RSS support. Hopefully, this will fall
through, tying up RSS/Atom content syndication with the “Web” may limit its own potential to evolve as a technology
independent of the web. But Microsoft has succeeded in the past in such matters - even some Unix geeks call
directories as folders!! Meanwhile, there is new talk of an RSS3 standard - doesn’t look all that official, but he is
on /.

You mean Atom version 1.0, not 2.0. Extensions to 1.0 are being discussed, and some of them may be standardized as well.
