When you join the RDF-models of two versions of a feed you a channel 
with two "items" properties which refer to partially the same "Item"s. 
In the resulting model you have no way to determine which Seq or 
Collection is the newer one.

Well RSS-Aggregators are not just aggregating models and analysing the 
broken result. But true compatibility with generic RDF aggregators and 
the ability to use RSS-terms describing more complex information 
resources than just a single language channel at one moment in time is 
where the strength of RSS 1.x come into play. RDF is the raison d'être 
of this branch and should not be compromised in order to compete with 
other syndication formats in terms of easy XML.
