I don't think this ("all the requirements discussed so far") is actually
the case. In the report, the reporter specifically asks for AppCast
support, and elaborates that this is what
http://connectedflow.com/appcasting/
says, which in turn says
# Appcasting is the practice of using the 'enclosure' feature of RSS
# 2.0 feeds
So, by nature, Atom can't possibly support Appcasting.
I also wonder why you keep saying that RSS is not properly specified.
http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/rss/rss.html
looks like a fine specification to me (but this really is a side issue;
another is the use of the word "syndication": I don't know what it
means, I then always think of organized crime and corruption - PyPI
is not a member of any syndicate).
