Thanks Phil and Dave, this is very helpful info. I will dig into this very soon. I just took a look at the code and the RSS version
is determined by:

1 - the version attribute
2 - The URI of a DTD
3 - An xml namespace reference to http://purl.org/rss/1.0/

If done by DTD, the DTD URI is mapped to a version per the following table:

mysql> select * from rss_info;
+-------------+------------+-----------------------------------------------------+-------------+
| rss_version | is_primary | dtd_uri                                             | description |
+-------------+------------+-----------------------------------------------------+-------------+
| 0.91        |          1 | http://my.netscape.com/publish/formats/rss-0.91.dtd |             |
| 0.92        |          1 | http://www.scripting.com/dtd/rss-0.92.dtd           |             |
| 1.0         |          1 | http://purl.org/rss/1.0/                            |             |
| 0.92d2      |          0 | http://www.scripting.com/dtd/rss-0.92.dtd           |             |
| 0.91fn      |          0 | http://my.netscape.com/publish/formats/rss-0.91.dtd |             |
+-------------+------------+-----------------------------------------------------+-------------+

Is there a better way to do this?

Jeff;
