I'd like to propose the following additional module to the spec. Feedback
and comments are of course welcome, if there is support for the module I'd
appreciate it if Rael (or whomever) would rewrite it (so it's more in line
with the rest of the spec) and include it in the modules list.

Thanks for the feedback in advance,

Aaron

Weblogs are a popular way of publishing personal content on the Internet.
Currently, the only real syndication format for weblogs is UserLand's
ScriptingNews format. The weblogs module will allow weblogs to syndicate
their content using RSS. The content element can contain either plain text
(text/plain), XHTML (text/xml), or HTML (text/html - for compatibility with
non-XHTML sites). This is identified through the use of the format
attribute. The content can be included through use of a CDATA element or the
quoting of the HTML/XML attributes. (Question: Should XHTML be quoted?)

Namespace Declarations:
xmlns:weblogs="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/weblogs/"

<item> Elements:
<weblogs:content format="content_format"> ( #PCDATA )
