DublinCore tags not output in RSS 2.0 feed

[sherrardb]

@shlomif, i have seen (and understand) your comments that updating XML::RSS is not a priority for you, but i was hoping that you might at least be able to shed some light on what i am seeing, and others have observed as well.

is this behavior (DublinCore tags output in 1.0, but not 2.0) intentional (ie, DublinCore is not compatible with RSS 2.0 because of the spec), or is it because the code has not been updated to reflect the compatibility, or for some other reason?

i simply want to avoid the situation where i patch things locally, thinking that it is a bug, only to discover that it was a feature, and that my "fix" is producing poorly-formatted RSS.

TIA

sorry, but i haven't studied the RSSes specs too closely.

thanks for the prompt response. i will proceed with caution and will defer to the RSS validator and feedback from the developers of the systems that will ultimately be consuming the feed.
cheers
