yes publisher sounds important - not sure if this data is embbeded
anywhere other than rss though. Is it generic enough to go in the file
class? Well I guess it will have to if there is no where else. (have
added it to spec)

Hmmm, I don't think it is embedded "cleanly anywhere". I added some addhoc ways for Beagle to extract it from Liferea and Blam indexes (and somebody else did it for Akregator).

yes cause its not stable!

Oh, no shit :-D
 

Also I think a pure metadata spec is probably more suitable for
freedesktop at this stage. I imagine there will be seperate specs for
shared dbus interfaces for lots of things (music players, text editors,
etc)

Ah, right. Makes good sense then.
