Updates to XML standards for news OK'd

A press release today heralded the announcement of updated XML news standards. To quote:

The International Press Telecommunications Council approved version 3.2 of News Industry Text Format, or NITF, and version 1.2 of the NewsML standard. The updates provide more flexibility for suppliers of news feeds and operators of online sites that receive them.

Both NewsML and NITF are used by the major news agencies to deliver their news in XML, or extensible markup language. The updated versions contain new functionality requested by news agencies.
