Interesting, thanks. I only saw the enclosures in RSS 1.0 used like  
your example from http://dannyayers.com/archives/2004/11/01/rss-10- 
enclosures/ hence my complaint. Glad to see I wasn't the only one  
thinking of that solution.

Sadly. Maybe we can get the process to accelerate a bit through just  
using RSS 1.0 enclosures in our feeds, while trying to get them into  
iTunes. Once iTunes supports it, everyone will probably going to  
implement it too. Hm.

I'm probably too idealistic with wanting it to work without hassle :)

Thanks Danny for your reply, and Karl thanks for forwarding this  
question to this mailinglist. Obviously, I'm not much of a  
mailinglist person ;)
