I share your general sentiments but unfortunately most of the widely
used tools do follow that approach, and it looks to me like aggregator
developers have tended to copy the design of existing tools rather
than looking to the specs.

I'm not sure, but until there's a good proportion of RDF-capable
aggregators out in the wild, I've a feeling it would be
counter-productive to press any harder for full RDF/XML
interpretation. I'm pretty sure that increased syntax complexity
without an infrastructure that can use it won't help adoption - the
'simple' XML crowd run a mile.

On the other hand, if for every new vocab used alongside RSS there's
an app demonstrating the coolness, we might just make progress.

Cheers,
Danny.
