XML namespace for repurposing RSS elements?

Hi folks--

Didn't get any response before, so just wanted to try one more time:

Is anyone at RssBoard interested in providing an XML namespace for RSS 2.0, for when RSS elements need to be nested inside other XML?  I've seen it mentioned on this group before.

Having a namespace would allow for the structure and meaning of RSS to be used inside XML documents other than RSS.  See:  http://masonlee.org/2009/09/11/rsscloud-atom-extension/ as an example of one such use.

Of course, RssBoard.org suggesting a namespace for easier embedding of RSS 2.0 elements would not affect RSS 2.0 in anyway.  RSS 2.0 documents would continue to *require* no namespace.

This seems to me well within the scope of an organization like RSS board.

Cheers,
