Good suggestion. I think RSS/Atom is well adapted for new widgets publication. I think that keeping the platform attribute is interesting, because we - as many - we will have to support different format for some time.
The issue I see with that is that it would require defining a platform, which can get to be somewhat complex (operating system, version, intel/ppc, 32/64/128bits, etc.) and if it is going to be of any general use then the vocabulary for platform specification needs to be specified — i.e. you can't "just" have a platform element or attribute, you also need to define its values in such a way that all can understand them.
As a result I'd tend to suggest that we punt on this, and people who need to have the platform specified can use an extension in their own namespace.
