RSS "date" field breaks My Netscape

Recently I proposed adding a "date" field to the "item" record of the
RSS format. I made a sample RSS file to test it and submitted it, but
My Netscape Network doesn't like it -- it doesn't get through their
submit page. I even provided an alternate DTD but apparently their
parser has hardcoded the RSS 0.91 DTD. Oh well. It's easy enough to
export two versions of the file (foo.rss091 and foo.rss perhaps).
I still haven't tested it in my.userland but Dave assures me it'll
work; if not, I'll post a followup.
By the way, should it be called "date" or "pubDate"? I like "date"
cause it's simple, but perhaps some day there will be other sorts of
dates one would want to attach to an item...
My files are at http://www2.stinky.com/almanac/almanac.rss and
http://www2.stinky.com/almanac/rss.dtd if anyone wants to
proofread. I'm not entirely sure what the correct syntax for the
DOCTYPE directive is.
