I noticed that the information about RSS 2.0[.1] has been updated on the harvard site since the last time I looked, and they've added a publish-subscribe mechanism called a "cloud". I'm curious to know if a lot of people are using or wanting to use clouds, or if when implementing an RSS feed I should just continue to focus on pubDate, lastBuildDate and ttl (time to live) as mechanisms for broadcasting content updates?
I'm also thinking about including the RSS <img> tag in my updated RSS feeds, which of course, requires additional user-input as well. I'm thinking the image being provided in RSS feeds can also be insinuated into the user-defined layout (or skin) for the blog, so the extra input shouldn't seem too strange to a less technical user, but I'm hesitant to introduce input elements for "clouds" if most folks will just see the (optional) form elements and say "WTF?! This is too complicated!". The context for this is blog software (currently) if it matters.
