Re: [syndication] Simple Semantics Resolution - RSS 2.0 Module

[Doug Ransom <doug.ransom@alumni.uvic.ca>]

I like the direction, but:
- its based on XSLT.  Maybe it would be prefereable to allow for a link 
to another file, like an python program, or a WSDL document to indicate 
a web services, etc.

I would suggest you use instead an existing element from the RDDL 
namespace, where the nature URI indicates whether its xslt,WSDL 
document, etc, and the purpose would be "conversion to RDF".
