Regarding <admin:errorReportsTo> and <errorReportsTo>, what's wrong with
using <webMaster> which is already in
the 0.9x specs? Quoting http://backend.userland.com/rss091

"<webMaster> -- The email address of the webmaster for the channel, the
person to contact if there are technical problems. Maximum length is
100." 

As for <rssProviderAgent> and <admin:generatorAgent>. This is like the
X-Mailer: email header convention. In email it's useful for discovering
that the sender is using MS Outlook Express but not a lot else. I mean,
who cares? I code all my rss by hand anyway ;-)
