RSS 2.0 Sucks!

RSS 2.0 sucks. Alas, due to Winer's copyright mojo on his RSS 2.0 document, I now need to append the below to my three word statement:

Comment on this stupidity. UPDATE: Actually, based on the comments over at Ben's site, it makes a bit of sense now. Ignore my stupidity. I was also kinda surprised to learn that the copyright notice has been like that since v0.91. Huh. Sorry 'bout that (though, I still think RSS 2.0 isn't so good - anyone ever play Parappa the Rappa? GeettiIing Wooorsee!).
