Syndication and trust

["Tristan Louis <tristan@tnl.net>" <tristan@tnl.net>]

The recent hubbub over the appearance of the ragingcow weblog to shill
for a softdrink has gotten me to wonder whether we could figure a way
for marketers and people who don't like them to co-exist in the blog
world. 

As a result, I came up with a basic outline of a proposal for a full
disclosure feed, similar in its simplicity to RSS: 

http://www.tnl.net/blog/2003/3/3#Marketer,Marketer,wherehaveyoubeen?

However, it is a rough draft. The first issue is a normalization of a
lot of the terms. The second part would be to write a basic reader
(that could either attach to an RSS reader or web-browser) to "tag"
shilled entries. 

Your thoughts on the concept, whether it works or not, and if not, how
to come up with something that would, would be VERY appreciated.
