Is there any special reason you want to use RSS instead of Atom?

It would be quite straightforward to define a pubsub payload for RSS 2.0
feeds, although RSS 2.0 is not officially namespaced. However, use of
the "http://backend.userland.com/RSS2"; namespace is optional so we could
include that and hope nothing breaks.

IMHO the result would look something like this:

<message from='pubsub.example.com'
         to='[EMAIL PROTECTED]'>
  <event xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub#event'>
    <items node='an-atom-node'>
      <item id='70b2a83be71dfca04df91133d953fb22b41b4267'>
        <rss version="2.0" xmlns="http://backend.userland.com/RSS2";>

I haven't looked at RSS in a while so I'm not sure if we could remove
the channel meta-data and just include the item.
