I've been biting my tongue for months, I agree Simon it's time to start a thread on RSS Feed do's and do not's

I'm thinking we may need to create a thread for program owners looking to add RSS feeds to their program or improve their existing ones. Sort of like the threads we had some time ago about what program owners should know about building hosted free sites (not that so many read/listened even then).
Then we could point the program reps, affiliate managers and owners to that thread for advice on what they should and should never include in their feeds, and how to never format anything in them in advance, etc...
Maybe two threads, one in which we collect everyone's feedback on what makes a very good versus a very bad feed, and then another thread where we publish the 'collected wisdom' for feed producers to use.
Or maybe I'm just dreaming of a more perfect world again.
