I'm not going to try to complicate matters for you guys on this, but
of 
course, as a Yahoo! engineer working on Media RSS, I'd love for you
to 
give your stamp of approval on it. Version 1.0 has been delayed for 
various reasons (such as translating to other languages) but we're 
going to start seeing some major momentum in this area out of Yahoo!. 
As someone else stated, adoption will be the key. And we are aware of 
that.

Porting to RSS 1.0/RDF should be soon after some help from core 
contributors.

Media RSS is definitely "media" centric - hence the name - but I tend 
to think of everything as media.

We're working on it. Hopefully you guys see that Yahoo is making 
commitments in this arena.

I think we've been fairly "open" about the changes thus far. While
not 
being administered by an outside group (yet), I certainly feel that 
we've done our best to take everyone's suggestions and apply them.
