I've been sporadically following the list and got the impression that
David and the Yahoo folks have been refreshingly open and responsive
to the input they've had. Little of which has come from the RSS/RDF
community (grog rations will be reduced to 9/10 water for a week).

The syntax is a couple of painful steps away from RDF/XML, but the
good news is they've done quite a few cycles hammering out the model
(whilst looking at the syntax, seems familiar somehow  ;-).

It is a/v media-oriented, though has a few properties that cross
domains, e.g. category (dc:subject?), credit (dc:creator?), adult
(that pics successor?). There's support for a different levels of
information about differing numbers of associated media resources,
from RSS 2.0's <enclosure> (used as-is) to collections of different
songs in different formats.

btw, David - is that the latest version at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rss-media/files/ ?

[
Hopping down the thread a little, couldn't the other kinds of blob be
supported simply by changing the mime type? (With additional info from
other vocabs - e.g. DOAP for software updates)
]

Cheers,
Danny.
