Honestly, it would have been difficult to explain the justification for 
why we thought it was worth making Video and other media formats more 
descriptive in RSS without also giving away plans for the Video Search 
product.

Having said that, we're merely suggesting a starting point and looking 
for input on where this stuff ought to be headed.  And, of course, we're 
willing to back it with code.

If you read more into it than that, I'd love to know what we cold have 
done to communicate that better.
