Atom is better than RSS in the way Betamax was better than VHS. With the same outcome and consequences for practical use.

What? Not at all. RSS is a product category. Many RSS feeds are, if you look into them, Atom. Your RSS reader just doesn't bother to tell you, because why would you care?

Try putting a Betamax tape into a VHS VCR and see if you can watch it.

The three ways of encoding the string "<xmp>" in the title all look like awful gibberish to me.
