If the RSS readers follow the RSS specification, they should be able to deal with tags that are unknown to them (out of the RSS 2.0 spec, "A RSS feed may contain elements not described on this page, only if those elements are defined in a namespace." So you can define your own namespace (which is what this proposal is about), and then add specific tags. There are some other feed providers that do this, such as Google Base. > * which metadata is allowed/specified in rss readers Including additional metadata in the feed should not affect normal RSS readers ability to read the feed. Because it doesn't redefine the feed's existing tags and behavior, the existing feed is still full up to RSS specification, it just has additional metadata that is ignored by normal plain vanilla RSS readers. > * how items which get removed from the fieed are handled > i.e. you look at a query with "my open items" and > somebody else closes one of the tickets I believe this is currently handled through the item just disappearing from the feed. Each feed item is supposed to have a unique id (usually a URL), if the item disappears from the feed, then the reader knows that the item has been deleted.
