In the case of feeds determined to be RDF wrapped it would be a good idea to
investigate the namespace within it.  The trouble is deciding "which" is the
right one to use.  If you go by the unqualified namespace you'd catch most of
them.  If, however, someone arbitrarily used something else as the unqualified
namespace (xmlns="something_else") and then used a qualified one for RSS
(xmlns:rss="http://purl.org/rss/1.0";) then you'd have a fine time discovering
it.
