This usually isn't the place where I get geeky, but Boris tried out the Mac version of Dave Winer's OPML Editor and so have I. Actually, I've been using the Windows version since I could get a hold of an 'official' release. I've been posting mostly test post at blogs.opml.org/sillygwailo where you can currently see an awesome photo of me, which is Gail's photo of me in a red wristband using someone else's camera. I have some thoughts about a weblog as outline, though nothing original. If the amount of beers I just consumed were less than two and the amount of food was more than a couple of fries, I'd be able to tell you how to subscribe to my outline, which would just be a test outline anyway.

At work today I was thinking about what you wrote in this post.
The problem is that outlining can't deal with posts that fall into several categories that exist in different hierarchies. This is also a weakness of XML (representing family trees in XML is something I've tried many times, and found impossible). One way to solve this is the del.icio.us way, using tags, because you can tag a post both "china" and "literature" without worrying that "china" is a country and "literature" is an academic field or what-not.
The ideal is to combine hierarchy with tagging, like delicious is sorta doing now ("all links tagged with 'shanghai' also belong to the 'china' tag"; see your own Brasil and China tag groups).
And don't get me started on temporal grouping, a la wiki.
