Re: summary

What I particularly like in RSS1 is that it easily extendable.
There are may be more uses to it than you or I could imagine.
 
In my particular case, I have an application where I would like 
to have short and long item summary. Before inventing something 
new, I am just asking the community if there is anything already 
for this. I do not suggest to add this to RSS spec and I do not 
force other people to use this.
