Thanks. I've been dipping into Dave's blog - good stuff.

Only thing that bothers me is that unless something happens pretty soon, 
Atom is going to have another 6 months with only anything-(in a 
different namespace)-goes extensions. It would be nice to be able to do 
the kind of stuff you can with RSS 1.0, e.g. throw in event info and 
extra author data in a consistent fashion, rather than RSS 2.0's thing 
where every little extension means another proprietary syntax.

Cheers,
Danny.
