> The craziest thing I see though is people importing the Atom namespace into RSS feeds to get some of the elements. Interestingly enough you can’t to do the reverse: because RSS never got a proper XML namespace, its elements can’t be embedded into other XML. I can understand that the early RSS 0.9x efforts didn’t do XML namespaces since those were rather new then, but the publication of RSS 2.0 could have been the right moment to introduce one, I think.
