Description

The RSS091 provides sideways compatibility with RSS 0.91 by providing a modularized version of the elements added to 0.91. Note that RSS 1.0 does indeed provide an item-level description element, borrowed from RSS 0.91 owing to the ubiquity of this one particular element; you'll note that the RSS091 module does, however, still contain its own compartmentalized copy of an item-level description element.

For more specifics on RSS 0.91, please refer to the RSS specifications in the Resources section of the RSS 1.0 Specification Proposal.
