Useless splintering - it's not just for RSS

Via Scoble comes this link to a story about ZIP splintering. On tthe zip side, there's at least commercial interest to explain what's going on; in the RSS world, it's a bunch of ill behaved children unable to share their toys in the sandbox.

On the other hand, end users aren't even going to notice the various RSS imbrogolios; two versions of ZIP are going to be noticed as soon as someone sends a zip file that they can't decompress.
