mod_link can be used to keep it separate.

I don't care what format it is.  OCS isn't really that different from
mod_subscription.

I just want to have a format that can be use to represent a user's subscriptions
that form the most part is RDF and can be linked to the original source.  It
should also be developed under an open standards body (rss-dev).

OCS is fine for this it just has a history of being used by big aggregators and
I would like to see something used by RSS reader so that they can serialize
their subscriptions and then represent thse in the RSS channel.  

... anyway... I hope that clarifies things.

(for the record I consider everything I am proposing to be open)
