I didn't have time to review the spec last night... was very busy.

Right off the bat I'm really -1 to this whole thing. There's no way that 
any of the existing RSS parsers will be able to support this.  If its 
RSS 1.1 it should be backwards compatible at a MINIMUM with RSS 1.0.  An 
RSS 1.0 parser should be able to parse RSS 1.1 or call it something 
else. RSS 3.0 ....

As an implementor I'll have to go through a lot of trouble to support 
RSS 1.1 and I don't want to do it... Its not necessary.
