Re: Redirecting RSS

A useful answer which should work fine on the RSS 1.0 feed BUT (and
isn't there always a but :)  ) RSS .91 does not support namespaces
hence it is impossible to use a DC method to redirect those feeds. The
interesting thing here is the constraint. I don't want to create a
"broken" RSS .91 implementation and introducing a DC element would
break it. 

BTW, all my feeds on syndic8 have been marked (I added a note to them
about redirect) but FYI, they were Syndic8 ID 2169 and 2461.
