Lucas,

While I would love to have my proposal accepted as "winner", I must
admit that no consensus have been reached on that. I think it never
will until we see actual implementations, and then market will decide. 

I am using my proposal in some project on which I am working on right
now, which I plan to announce to public this month. Then it would be
up to RSS aggregators vendors to decide to support it or not.

Also we are working on implementation of my proposal for Informa
library which we will submit as patch to Informa maintainers. If
accepted it would make it easy for people to implement our proposal.

Sincerely,
Vadim
