I think that should be up to the editor too. The format should allow for a 
list of categories.

Also, I thought the Motley Fool's addition of ticker symbols is brilliant 
and perfect. It says that the <items> should be able to carry additional 
information that the aggregator might want to pick up. I can tell you this 
much, we'd be very happy to create a database indexed by ticker symbol to 
support people who want to follow stocks thru our aggregator. It's good 
business.

What about the format for the channel list? Anyone want to work on that 
this weekend? I can create an experimental URL for quick 
additions/revisions. Right now our channel list is just a list of URLs. 
What additional info should we provide for each channel? This is what OCS 
is about, correct?
