I have to agree with both Jace and TheDoc here...

It is very important to have a lot of info in good RSS feeds. Extremely important to use <enclosure /> for example, and also very good to use Yahoo's mRSS extension (media content) if you have videos embeded in the feed.

The feeds I am building for a new project of mine have a good <description /> which is HTML and can be directly put into blogs, but I also use <media:thumbnail /> <media:title /> <media:description /> <author /> <pubDate /> and of course <guid /> and <link /> for additional info that is all INCLUDED in the description HTML but if someone wants to grab the info one by one and build their OWN design based on it, there is no problem to do so.

The BEST way to use an RSS feed is via customizing how to output the info so you can actually display the content the way YOU want it and not let someone inject pure HTML into your blog. Of course this requires having all the info needed to do so.

teksonline, building a standardised TGP extension to RSS is a great idea, we should definately do that.. if you would like some more feedback on what you made already, get a hold of me on ICQ 1889711.
