"I think the 'funky' ploy backfired. Big time."

Indeed, especially when the feed validates. Considering in the real XML world, usage of Dublin Core-based elements as a standard vocab for publishing related metadata, it is going too far to realistically expect an XML stream containing RSS to use RSS limited elements instead of an already existing Dublin Core equivalents - and to do so without duplicating the content. Its an odd philosophy to pursue - almost overbearing in its implicitness that RSS data shalt not be combined with any other data. Its odd, and limiting. So either I should just ignore this "funky" daftness and FUD, or use anything else other than RSS.

Its all probably bareable when RSS is all you have. But I don't like locked-in environments with no hope of sharing information and content.
