We will work on RDF definition for RSS 1.0.
I will send updated proposal shortly. Please let
me know if there is anything else needs to be
clarified/corrected.

We are trying to engage interested parties here to
make this into community effort.

There are some comments on this proposal at
'audvidsyn' mailing list, but apparently people there are most
interested in of audio/video-specific metadata. We are
trying to avoid making enclosure syntax specific to audio/video: 
why can't it be used in future for example to distribute software
updates or any other data? Besides we do not feel that we are 
capable to include about all possible audio/video presentation
information in scope of this proposal. So we just allow people to
include such presentation information in any format (SMIL, playlist,
etc.) as one of enclosures, and reference others, pointing to actual
audio/video data from it (like it is done for MMS).

Sincerely,
Vadim
