<sigh> Yet another format that Dave invents without input from the 
public.  Yet another RSS debacle all over again.  Heaven forbid 
there's any critics of it.  Look at the RSS 0.93 stagnation, it's 
because of critics.  There are a lot of good comments in the group. 

My comments about using this OPML format for news are intended as 
valid criticism.  There's little or nothing in the OPML format that 
is listed as support for many newsfeed related fields.  While I'm 
sure it could be made to support it, so too could the RSS-whatever 
formats.

But apparently an open discussion is not what's desired.
