You’ll be pleased to know that at the Blog Business Summit when MS made this statement about webfeeds, someone in the audience made a very vocal point of attributing this name to the Contentious contest.

If I say ABC, CBS, NBC, BBC, HBO, VHS, or DVD you are likely to know exactly what I mean. I'm far more interested in finding ways to communicate the value and potential of an important and established technology standard - RSS - than I am in trying to re-brand it many years too late.
