Hello geminauts

Yesterday I decided to add a feed to my gemlog and when I checked otherlogs, most seem to feed XML or Atom. While I get that it's popular anduseful in existing clients, I am wondering why it's the de facto standardin a protocol that favors a reduced markdown. XML always felt worse thanHTML to me, yet to do anything feed related in geminispace, I still need toXML. Is it just me?

Best~m
