Thanks James!

There is only 7 clients that support the userland namespace and 
wouldn't support a new namespace. I would go with a new namespace and 
a bold warning against using the namespace in RSS documents. In fact, 
I'm putting a warning on this thread, just in case.

   !!!WARNING!!!!
In no way should anybody interpret anything in this thread or any 
spec changes resulting from this thread as permission to use a 
namespace for RSS 2.0 elements in an RSS 2.0 document.
   !!!WARNING!!!!

Further, I wouldn't require the use of the namespace, but rather 
suggest the use of the namespace when and only when it helps embed 
RSS elements in other documents.

MHO,

Randy
