There was no "rss091" prefix before, so there's no backwards
compatibility issue in the *example prefix name*.

Since RSS 0.91 added particular elements to RSS 0.9 presumable for a
reason.  If those elements aren't appropriate for a different module,
then it's possible that they should be their own module.  In any case,
I agree with Paulo that simply calling them "the RSS 0.91 added
elements" is just keeping historic baggage -- give them a good, new
home.
