That rings true to me.  Ok, it's easy enough to fix if the issue is well 
known.

What practical steps would help?

Podcatcher devs need to know that there is consensus on how to do this 
among the RSS 1.0 contributors.  Am I right in thinking that the Krokodile 
proposal is the winner, and that it has moderate consensus behind it?  Is 
it possible that core RSS 1.0 contributors have reached consensus but not 
publicized it?

Whatever the consensus is, it needs documentation.  There should be a 
tutorial, an XML.com article, and sample code.

It also needs tools.  The universal feed parser should support it, 
whatever's in CPAN for RSS 1.0 should support it, Magpie needs a 
patch.

It is also possible for RSS 1.0 contributors to modify the FOSS 
podcatchers themselves.  iPodder is GPL.
