Hi Matthew

RSS 1.0 is RDF - RSS 2.0 isn't :-(

You could add a pointer to an EARL report. Dublin Core are finalising the  
Accessibility element at the moment (it was accepted in principleat the  
Shanghai meeting last Novemeber) so you could be one of the first  
implementors :-)

If you do, be careful to make sure you are talkng about the accessibility  
of the thing being pointed to, not the RSS item itself, if that's what you  
mean.

Cheers
