An idea:

i) add an optional programme element "live" to specify whether a given
programme is broadcast live (element present) or not (absent).

<!ELEMENT live EMPTY>


ii) add an optional programme element "live-delayed" to specify if a
live transmission is being shown in its entirety but after a
tape_delay.

<!ELEMENT live-delayed EMPTY>


iii) update the <programme> element to optionally permit one of either
"live" OR "live-delayed" as a sub-element:

<!ELEMENT programme (title+, sub-title*, desc*, credits?, date?,
                     category*, keyword*, language?, orig-language?,
                     length?, icon*, url*, country*, episode-num*,
                     video?, audio?, previously-shown?, premiere?,
                     last-chance?, new?, subtitles*, rating*,
                     star-rating*, review*, (live | live-delayed)? )>


Anything consuming the data could look for these elements
automatically and optionally add extra time to a recording in case the
live showing runs late.

Nick
