First off I wouldn't recommend using XML content at all because I don't
think the aggregator support is very widespread yet. But if you were
-1, bad recommendation. Applications should feel free to use the full
capabilities of Atom content model regardless of current feed reader
capabilities. If a particular use case catches on, the feed readers
will either implement support or be replaced by ones that do.
