<link> vs <source>



There's an analysis of Radio 8 RSS at 
http://www.deadlybloodyserious.com/radio/stories/2002/01/18/rss092LinkTa
gsAndAggregatorMadness.html

This has a discussion of the relative uses of <item>.<link> and
.<source>

Without going into a lot of reasons why, my vote is firmly with the de
facto standard which is to use <link> for the permalink of the item.
That is the URL of the html representation of the item, not an arbitrary
link in the text of the item.
