Simon Fell > Its just code > It's just bandwidth

Joe has an interesting post on levels of abstraction. Joe asks how the producer benifits by generating valid xhtml and using xhtml:body in the RSS over content:encoded. This lead me to ask the meta question of as a content producer what do I get by generating an RSS feed at all ?, All I seem to get so far is a bigger bandwidth bill. (my RSS feed gets 15x more hits than any other page on the site)
