I see RSS as moving away from a simple XML language for the people, and more towards a communication system for content management systems and other scripting environments. It may not be the choice you believe in, but it's a choice that the authors are making. There will always be other formats if you don't agree.
That answers my question. I guess my partner and I will be developing a simpler format for our project on our own. Thanks, Aaron!
