I'm not surprised he kept that quiet, given my public views on it ;-) 
RSS 2.0 is a rogue fork not endorsed by the RSS Working Group. Support 
for it borders on harmful IMO. Do I need to make the case for 
community-developed standards based on dublin core metadata, RDF and 
other stuff librarians usually like?

That one would take me some time to get up to speed with 2.1 and learn 
the relevant code. I can't see me doing it for a while. I hope you're 
rewarded for developing RSS 1.0 in another way.
