Portable Application Description (PAD) is an XML format:

What is PAD? PAD is the Portable Application Description, and it helps authors provide product descriptions and specifications to online sources in a standard way, using a standard data format that will allow webmasters and program librarians to automate program listings. PAD saves time for both authors and webmasters. For more, see the PAD FAQ. [1]

Microformats & Pad were discussed on Usenet in March 2006

Appcast

Quoted from the Connected Flow Appcast page:

Appcasting is the practice of using the 'enclosure' feature of RSS 2.0 feeds to deliver updates and release notes for new software applications.

Appcast + Sparkle

Sparkle, an application update framework, uses appcasts as described above, but adds several new features. An appcast with Sparkle extensions can, for example, have MD5 sums and DSA signatures.
