RDF is about the Semantic Web and RDF/RSS 1.0 has purpose, design, and usefulness which does not necessarily coincide with Atom's development, purposes and design. Why not treat Atom as an RSS 1.0 " RSS feed" module for pure RDF applications to use, and yet have the benefits offered by Atom and still also satisfy application development needs for RDF purposes? Considering what RDF offers in compound search technologies, I would think that RDF/RSS 1.0 should be preferred to "manage" RSS feeds so to speak and provide the hooks for advanced queries. 
  Just some thoughts out loud.
