That sounds like a very easy problem to solve. Resurrect the 0.94 spec.

All RSS 0.91 feeds continue to work.
All RSS 0.92 feeds continue to work.
All RSS 0.93 feeds continue to work.
All RSS 0.94 feeds will work.

This also gives RSS content producers an unambiguous way to say "no
namespaces contained herein" via the use of an 0.9x version number. And
for RSS content consumers to get fair warning that the (apparently
troublesome to some consumers) namespaces are present when they
encounter a 2.0 version number.

I love it when an apparently intractable problem has a simple solution.
