Hope this integrates with what the Pirate Bay founders are working on, as discussed here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2132482 (at least if their "mysterious website" is still going to be based on torrents).

But in either case it seems a fortunate move towards much-needed standardization of torrent RSSes :)

I don't get why they weren't done just emulating podcasts, i.e. have an enclosure and extra metadata...

This seems to be an easy problem.

Apparently they do emulate podcasts.

Here's an example of one of their feeds.

Note that each item has an enclosure.

They have other data that doesn't fit into the existing elements of item, so creating a namespace is exactly the right thing to do.

Why do people still insist on using DTD?
